Notice Title

The Provision of Emergency Department Well-Being & Home Safe Service

Notice Description

Lot Information

Lot 1 - South East Wales

Presentation at an Emergency Department often represents a person's initial experience within a hospital system and thus a unique opportunity to establish a positive first impression. These visits frequently occur during times of stress and uncertainty for a patient and their family, and the Emergency Department care environment is one that faces a myriad of challenges. In order to respond to these challenges, the Welsh Government, in collaboration with the National Collaborative Commissioning Unit and NHS Wales Health Boards and Trusts, are establishing an Emergency Department Well-being & Home Safe Service

Since the tender has been live there have been clarifications which has resulted in a longer clarification period and an extension to the closing date for tender submissions which was unforeseen. The extension meets the criteria of regulation 72(1)(c): (i) the extension is due to longer unforeseen clarifications required on the renewal. (ii) the requested three (3) month extension period does not alter the nature of the contract as services will remain the same, and (iii) the increase does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract agreement."
