Notice Title

The Harmonia Village - provision of residential nursing care and support services to people living with dementia

Notice Description

Owned, and currently operated, by East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust (the 'Trust'), The Harmonia Village in Dover, Kent aims to provide better care and support for people living with dementia ('PLWD'), so that they can live happier and healthier lives. Part of a wider Interreg VA 2Seas programme known as Community Areas of Sustainable Care and Dementia Excellence in Europe ('CASCADE'), The Harmonia Village offers on-site 24 hours a day, all year round residential nursing care and support for up to i) 30 PLWD who require long-term placements across six houses, and ii) six hotel style booked 'guest rooms' - within the communal building (the 'Hub') - offering short-term placements to PLWD and their visiting carers / family. The Hub is at the heart of The Harmonia Village, offering residents, their guests and visitors, other organisations and the public, access to a cafe and multi-purpose rooms, where daily activities, events and services can provide stimulating and creative activities to PLWD to boost their health and well-being. Further information about the Harmonia Village is available from http://www.harmoniavillage.org.uk The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the Trust's ability to deliver the services as originally intended, so much so that the Trust is now looking to outsource the operational delivery of the residential nursing home care and support services at the Harmonia Village to a suitably experienced provider who will partner with the Trust, and share in its vision, to deliver a new approach to care of PLWD. Additional information: Suitably experienced providers wishing to bid for this opportunity are encouraged to register via the Trust's e-Tendering system, Bravo Solution, website address: https://commercialsolutions.bravosolution.co.uk Instructions for bidding are as follows: a) click 'View current opportunities and notices'; b) express an interest in the 'itt_3883 The Harmonia Village - provision of residential nursing care and support services to people living with dementia'; c) download and closely follow the guidance given within 'Section A - ITT Instructions' from the Attachments section of the e-Tendering system; and d) if wishing to bid, accurately complete and fully submit your Tender response (in accordance with the ITT instructions) by no later than 16:00 on Wednesday, 22nd December 2021.
