Notice Title

WSCC - Early Engagement - Community Reablement Service and Hospital Discharge Care (Home First) Services

Notice Description

Details of Services. Community Reablement Service: A Community Reablement Service Provider will receive referrals and provide reablement support within a Customer's home within 24 hours of acceptance. Those suitable for reablement will be from both the hospital discharge and community referral pathways. The Customer will have a reablement plan that is asset-based and outcome-focused, to be implemented by the service provider with a move away from "time and task" activity. The reablement package will be time limited (up to 6 weeks) and will: 1) Right-Size the package of care and, throughout the reablement period, reduce the package of care as the customer develops their resilience. 2) Provide reablement-focused support to promote independence, significantly reducing the support package and reabling the customer so they no longer need care and support to live at home. A Community Reablement Service Provider may also have to provide domiciliary care for people who have some ongoing care needs at the end of their reablement period whilst a suitable package of care is sourced from the WSCC Domiciliary Care Framework. Hospital Discharge Care (Home First) Services: Home First services support people to be discharged from hospital and receive care in their own home to aid their recovery. Sussex Community Foundation Trust working with Home First Providers ensure that the right services are available to people, working as part of a multi-disciplinary team, referrals are responded to within a two-hour timeframe seven days and care packages commence on the same day. These services are typically in place for up to 10 days, a social worker will undertake an assessment to identify any long-term care needs and if required arrangements could be made for domiciliary care or community services which may include voluntary or charitable sector services. Aims The aim of this Early Market Engagement Questionnaire is to support the re-commissioning of Community Reablement and Hospital Discharge Care services that support a WSCC and NHS jointly agreed vision and model for intermediate care services, seeking to improve how services are arranged and delivered operationally to provide the most effective service and the best use of combined assets. The findings of this exercise will inform our thinking around the opportunities for commissioning and procurement of the service. Any information provided will be treated as 'Commercial-in-Confidence' and will be considered by local authority commissioners in such a way as to ensure that it is non-attributable to any particular provider. Opportunities for group based or individual organisation discussion with Providers who respond may follow this exercise. Please respond to the 4 questions in the attached document by, 12pm on the 27 March 2024. Please submit via email to acdcescontractmanagement@westsussex.gov.uk including "Soft Market Testing" in the subject line.
