Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council, working jointly with NHS Surrey Continuing Healthcare, is procuring residential and nursing care home services for people aged over 65 in Surrey. The requirement covers two types of provision: short-term placements of up to four weeks after hospital discharge, with therapeutic support and assessment to help people recover, regain independence and return home; and blocks of residential or nursing beds for longer- or shorter-term adult social care placements. The block arrangements can cover different numbers of beds according to the council’s needs and providers’ capacity. The discharge service can also provide short-term community placements intended to prevent a hospital admission. The work falls within health and social care services.

The buyer invited offers through a restricted procedure to join a dynamic purchasing system, with the tender deadline set for 1 November 2022. Providers accepted onto the system can be invited to compete in later mini-competitions for the discharge placements and block-bed contracts; suppliers must first join the system to bid in those competitions. The published estimated value is £900 million. The two lots each have a stated contract period of 1,980 days and provision for two two-year extensions. The system was established in October 2021, and an amendment extended its expiry date to 30 June 2032. Evaluation is based entirely on quality, with price assigned no weight. The tender does not allow variant bids.

This opportunity suits care home providers able to deliver residential and nursing care for older people, including people eligible for adult social care or NHS Continuing Healthcare funding. The discharge service requires providers to offer therapeutic input and support safe transitions from hospital, short-term assessment and recovery, and care that helps residents regain independence and potentially return home. Providers competing for block arrangements need capacity to supply beds for both short- and long-term placements, with the ability to accommodate block sizes that reflect available market and home capacity. Experience in older people’s care, nursing provision where required, rehabilitation or assessment, and coordination with health and social care services is relevant to the service outcomes. The council will assess quality rather than price.

Lot Information

DISCHARGE TO RECOVER AND ASSESS (OLDER PEOPLE ONLY)

LOT 3 This will be for the provision of placements with therapeutic input (with or without FNC funding in place) for people over the age of 65 who are being discharged from hospital into a care home for a period up to four weeks. This Service will support individuals who are discharged from the hospital. It will also support individuals who require a short-term placement for assessment as a community 'step up' admission to prevent a potential hospital admission. This will provide an opportunity for safe discharge, reducing pressures on acute hospital and community health settings and will enable residents to be assessed when not in crisis therefore increasing their chances to maximise their independence and ability to return home, reducing social care spending and inappropriate placement(s).

Renewal: Two 2-year extensions

OP RESIDENTIAL CARE WITH OR WITHOUT NURSING BLOCKS (OLDER PEOPLE ONLY)

LOT 6 This is for a variety of blocks for long- and short-term placements (without or without FNC funding in place) for people over the age of 65 with needs eligible for social care or CHC Nursing Care. Lot 1 of the Residential and Nursing Care Contract enables SCC to award individual placement agreements to providers signed up to the contract for long- and short-term placements for older people who are eligible for Adult Social Care (ASC). Through monitoring ASC placement data for Lot 1, SCC is able to identify where we need greater capacity for residential care with or without nursing across the county. This Lot (Lot 6) therefore enables SCC to set up a variety of block contracts to respond to these needs. The block contracts will provide ASC placements for older people who have been assessed as requiring a care home placement and who are eligible for funded adult social care. The block arrangements can be for any number of placements depending on our requirements and the capacity available in the market and within the Providers home(s).

Renewal: Two 2-year extensions
