Notice Title

NHS WYICB - Short-Term Community Beds Service

Notice Description

NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (WYICB) is inviting interested bidders to apply to provide the Short-Term Community Beds Service in Leeds. We are looking for a single provider to take responsibility for all of the bedded rehabilitation capacity required for our population.<br/>Short-term community beds are a core component of the intermediate care offer in Leeds, supporting people for a short period in a community bed when they are unable to be supported in their usual place of residence and do not require hospital care.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The short-term community beds will provide a rehabilitation, recovery, and assessment service for the adult population of Leeds who are unable to be supported at home. The service will provide some 'step up' from community settings, as well as services for people on discharge. The service will support people to reach the immediate rehabilitation goals that need 24-hour care before being transferred to either continue their recovery in their own home with further services or leaving the short-term bed to a long-term care setting. The beds will also offer admission on an ad hoc basis (not expected to be more than 2 at any one time and on an infrequent basis) to people supported by the Community Neurorehabilitation Service if they need an intervention that cannot be provided in their usual place of residence.

The specification sets out the detailed requirements for future Short-term Community Beds in the way we currently anticipate them to be provided from July 2026 and onwards. However, over the lifetime of the contract, the Partnership wishes to further develop an increasingly integrated intermediate care offer in Leeds with even greater emphasis on care at home. The provider, as a valued system partner, will be expected to be part of that work and to mutually agree service developments that will support the Home First journey. This will enable WYICB to ensure that people are supported with an integrated offer, using a common language and approach to rehabilitation and reablement and maximising the opportunities offered by integrated workforce, systems, and processes. Additional information: A bidder event is scheduled for Tuesday, 23 September 2025, 1:30pm - 3:30pm.

Venue: Rooms A & B, The Vinery Centre, 20 Vinery Terrace, Leeds. LS9 9LU.

Due to capacity, numbers of attendees may be restricted to 2 per organisation and attendees will have their place confirmed on 17 September 2025.

Providers are required to register the attendees with their email addresses by 12noon on 17 September 2025 via the messaging function on the Atamis portal.

Renewal: Option to extend for up to 2 years
