Notice Title
NHS Devon ICB- Plymouth Assisted Discharge Service
Notice Description
NHS Devon Integrated Care Board (ICB) wishes to commission a single provider to support individuals who may require some additional assistance on discharge from hospital (or another care setting), from an unregulated provider. This will be a flexible service that will offer a range of support in a person centred way. This could be a few hours support to help someone on their first day at home, assisting with shopping or providing a few visits and/or telephone support over a limited number of weeks. The aim of the service is to provide support to patients at home once they become medically fit, so that they can regain independence at home and reduce the risk of deconditioning in hospital. Key principles of the service: * Work as a key member of the multi-disciplinary Care Transfer Hub to identify individuals who would be suitable for accessing the service. * Act as single point of access and triage for individuals identified as appropriate for this service. * Deliver a flexible, person centred, solution focussed service embedding the principals of a Discharge Personal Budget (the Discharge Person Budget enables a unique solution for each service user within the unit cost). * Ensure service users are settled in safely at home after a spell in hospital. * Support service users to become independent at home again. * Improve service users' outcomes and wellbeing post discharge. * Where support exists already, to refer/signpost and not duplicate. * Develop and maintain knowledge of other services and networks and ensure service users are linked to information and encouraged to access support which may reduce anxiety and enhance ability to continue living independently in their home e.g. benefits, community meals, befriending, day centres. * The support will seek to reduce the impact on POC delivered in the community by Domiciliary Care, in turn improving hospital flow and discharge (reduce reliance on statutory care). * Reduce risk of readmission * Reduce discharge delays. * Reduce average length of stay in community beds. * Improve 7 day working through supporting discharges at weekends. * Support early flow by participating in early discharge planning before the day of discharge. * Support discharge to usual place of residence in line with Better Care Fund (iBCF) Metrics. The contract value is PS395,735 per annum with a total contract value of PS1,187,205 for the 3 year period, with an optional extension period of 2 additional years at the commissioners discretion.

Click on 'View our Live Opportunities' from the home page, available on the following link: https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome. Once you have found the opportunity (via the search function, using the title or reference number), to gain full access to the bid documentation (including questionnaires), you will need to click on 'Register interest' - this will take you to the log-in page. If you are not already registered on the system, you will need to do so before gaining full access to the documentation and be able to submit a bid. The services are within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (\"the Regulations\") which are not subject to the full regime of the Regulations, but are instead governed by the \"Light Touch Regime\" contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Regulations (Regulations 74 to 77). The tendering process will be conducted in accordance with the requirements and flexibilities provided by Articles 74 to 76 of the Directive, and Regulations 74 to 76 of the Regulations. The Authority will run a transparent tender process, treating all Bidders equally. For the avoidance of doubt, the Authority will not be bound by the Regulations or any other regulations or legislation except for the specific parts or circumstances that apply to the procurement of these Services. Neither the inclusion of a Bidder selection stage, nor the use of any language or terms found in the Directive or Regulations, nor the description of the procedure voluntarily adopted by the Authority (\"Open\", \"Restricted\", \"Competitive Procedure with Negotiation\", \"Competitive Dialogue\" or any other description), nor any other indication, shall be taken to mean that the Authority intends to hold itself bound by the Directive or Regulations, save by the provisions applicable to services coming within the scope of Annex XIV of the Directive / Schedule 3 of the Regulations. Bidders will be notified of a contract award decision and the Contracting Authority intends to voluntarily observe the 10-day standstill period in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ('Regulations').
