Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council has completed the public procurement process for the "Discharge to Assess (D2A) - West Suffolk" service, which falls under the industry category of health and social work services (CPV 85000000). This initiative aims to provide support for adults discharged from hospital, giving them additional time to make informed decisions about their long-term care plans. The procurement was carried out via a limited method, specifically negotiated without publication of a contract notice, owing to the lack of alternative suppliers capable of fulfilling the service requirements. The contracts were awarded on 30th August 2024 to existing suppliers, The Partnership in Care Ltd and Raveedha Care Ltd, for an initial 12-month period, with the possibility of extension for up to an additional 24 months. The service will be delivered in the UKH14 region, covering West Suffolk.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the healthcare and social services sectors to collaborate on essential community-based care services. Providers with expertise in post-hospitalisation care and a strong understanding of patient needs would find this contract particularly beneficial. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a track record in delivering similar services can leverage this contract to expand their operations and reduce hospital readmission rates, enhancing their market credibility. The close collaboration with a regional authority like Suffolk County Council also offers a stable partnership foundation and potential for long-term engagement in similar future projects.
