Summary of the contracting process

The NHS South West London Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is currently in the planning stage for the procurement of the "Croydon Intermediate Care Bed Service." This service, categorised under health services, aims to provide up to 14 intermediate care beds in Croydon, with flexibility to increase capacity during high demand periods. Interested providers are invited to express their interest by completing a Market Engagement Questionnaire (MEQ) by 12 noon on 16th December 2021. The anticipated contract award date is April 2022, with service commencement expected from July 2022.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for care providers, specifically those with experience in delivering nursing care and intermediate care services. Businesses equipped to provide nurse-led, Care Quality Commission registered services in a community setting would be particularly well-suited to compete. The potential contract value, estimated at £800,000 per year, underscores the opportunity for revenue generation in a sector increasingly focused on community-based health solutions. Providers engaged in similar health service offerings are encouraged to participate, especially those able to meet the needs of both northern and southern Croydon residents.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Croydon Intermediate Care Bed Service

Notice Description

NHS South West London CCG is inviting expressions of interest from suitably experienced and capable providers, to provide an Intermediate Care Bed Service to residents within the borough of Croydon. Specifically, the service will provide a range of 'step- up' and 'step down' nursing beds through joint working with the NHS and Croydon Council to ensure that Service Users' physical, mental, and social wellbeing needs are met and avoid acute hospital stays where it is appropriate to do so. Noting the wider Intermediate Care model that will be supported by NHS and Council services, this invitation for expressions of interest, is for providers of nurse lead and carer delivered beds in the community setting, appropriately registered with the Care Quality Commission. The service is intended to provide up to fourteen (14) Intermediate Care Beds in Croydon on a "block" (fixed value) contract basis. The service should have a flexibility to increase bed capacity by six (6) additional nursing beds, particularly during the winter pressure period and at other times when additional capacity is needed. IDEALLY, this capacity could be made available in two (2) locations across Croydon, i.e. one being accessible for patients in the north of Croydon, the other being more accessible in the south of Croydon. The CCG's model for Intermediate Care includes for a range of functions such as specialist therapeutic input to support delivery of responsive rehabilitation for people who would otherwise face unnecessarily prolonged hospital stays; or inappropriate admission to acute inpatient care; or long-term residential care. However, this therapeutic element is intended to be commissioned separately by the CCG, to be delivered by the Community Teams of the Croydon Health Services NHS Trust. Social Workers funded and commissioned by Croydon Council will also support clients' needs throughout their stay. Current thinking is that the contract(s) may have an initial duration of 2 years, with potential to be extended for up to a further 2 years (4 years being the maximum). The modelled contract value is in the region of PS800k per year to meet the current needs of Croydon's residents, with the initial 2-year duration worth up to PS1.6m (or PS3.2m if 4 years). PS800k assumes access to 14 beds over 8 months of the year (April through November) and access to 20 beds over 4 months (December through March), with an average weekly cost per bed of PS962.
