UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Warwickshire County Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "WCC Market Testing - Future Provision Options for Discharge to Assess (D2A) Short Stay Beds". This initiative is being developed in collaboration with the South Warwickshire University Foundation Trust and Coventry & Warwickshire Integrated Care Board. The contract is aimed at evaluating and expanding the provision of health and social work services, specifically D2A beds, in the regions of the UK identified by UKG. The present stages involve market engagement to understand potential interest for a procurement set to commence in 2026. Interested parties are requested to participate in a market testing exercise, with responses due by 30 June 2025, and clarifications to be submitted by 23 June 2025.

The tender offers significant opportunities for growth, especially for businesses involved in health and social care services, given the substantial contract value of £8 million. Organisations with expertise in managing residential and nursing home care provisions would find this tender particularly advantageous. The procurement process will assess market readiness and encourage potential providers to tailor services for improved D2A care, aligning with policy standards and potentially shaping future service delivery models. Participation in this initiative might also pave the way for strategic partnerships and collaborations within the public health sector.
