We wish to commission bed provision across Norfolk, to support all three Norfolk acute hospital systems and in particular hospital discharge. NCC wish to engage with providers who could offer Winter Capacity Beds using flexibility and innovation as appropriate, to provide a service to individuals discharged from hospital, who require a short term period of care and further assessment.

If a provider can provide Enhanced provision, they will need to be appropriately CQC registered for Dementia. The vast majority of referrals into these beds would be to support hospital discharges.

NCC will support to facilitate the Discharge Process into residential settings, to help ensure admissions can take place quickly once identified and a dedicated operational team is in place to support individuals to move on from short term beds. Contract Requirements 1. All referrals to Winter Capacity beds will be made through NCC's Brokerage Service. 2. Providers must be able to support quick hospital discharge. 3. Winter Capacity beds will only be commissioned until 31 March 2021 unless an extension period is agreed by both parties. 4.
