Lot Information
Lot 1
The ACS Bridging Service has been created to support Customers awaiting long-term care, whilst relieving pressures on the Acute Hospitals without impacting capacity of the Home First Service. Customers identified will be supported under the Bridging Service until such time that an appropriate long-term Provider comes forward to support the Customer. By implementing the ACS Bridging Service, pathway flow from the Acute Hospitals across Suffolk is eased and Home First capacity is not occupied by Customers who may have completed their period of Reablement and are now awaiting their most appropriate long-term care.Blocks of support will be purchased from the Service Provider (costings set out in Pricing Schedule) to support multiple Customers in targeted areas where long-term capacity within the Home Care Market is otherwise limited. Fundamental to the success of the Bridging Service, is that the Service Provider has the ability to deploy care staff into Suffolk, thus not impacting the local resource. Additional information: Value is maximum value expected across whole contract including extensionInitial contract period is 1/8/23 - 31/7/25 with the option to extend for a further 12 months
Renewal: Any future requirement will be advertised once the scope and requirement are known
Procurement Information
It was anticipated that capacity to provide care to waiting list customers would have been gained after the award of recent framework, unfortunately this has not been the case. To continue to provide care to customers on this waiting list whilst not creating further pressure on an already fragile local staff resource and to allow a procurement exercise to be completed a direct award to the existing Pilot Provider is needed.
