Notice Title

Strategic Market Support and Care Home Trusted Assessor Service

Notice Description

As no suitable tenders were received in response to an open procedure, under Regulation 32(2)(a) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, the Council entered into a negotiated procedure, without prior publication of a contract notice. The Strategic Market Support Service (SMSS) and Care Home Trusted Assessors (CHTA) contracts main aim is to engage with care providers to support and develop the market and to meet the demand for critical adult social care services. The SMSS provides long term stability through the delivery of a workforce strategy and supportive workforce training needs analysis, with the subsequent delivery of education and training courses to develop Lincolnshire care services and their workforce whilst ensuring the offer of support to the provider market is attractive and meaningful. This leads to a longer term plan of sustainability to ensure that all Lincolnshire residents who receive their care from independent and third sector providers in Lincolnshire will have those services delivered by a skilled, competent and caring workforce. The CHTA service aims to reduce the demand (and need) for care home managers (or care home staff) to attend an acute hospital setting to review the suitability of someone ready for discharge. The CHTA team complete discharge assessments in a time responsive manner which supports the urgency of operational capacity and demand in the acute hospital setting and promotes discharges seven days a week.
