Summary of the contracting process

The Healthy Households Support Service contract was awarded by Cheshire East Council, located in Crewe, United Kingdom. The procurement process, classified under health and social work services, was conducted using an open procedure. The process advanced from planning to the award stage, with significant dates from the tender notice on 7th October 2025 to the award notice on 19th December 2025, culminating in the contract being signed on 11th March 2026. The primary aim of the service is to collaborate with local NHS trusts and the council's adult social care teams to enhance capacity for hospital admissions avoidance and patient discharge support within the Cheshire East region. Businesses interested in this opportunity should note the service period starting on 1st April 2026 and concluding on 31st March 2028, with possible extension options up to 2030.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare, social services, and community support services. The involvement of Cheshire East Council, a sub-central governmental authority, indicates a stable business association. Enterprises focusing on delivering holistic, person-centred support, particularly those that can operate within the 'wrap-around support' model, are advantaged. The contract accommodated provisions for SMEs and VCSE entities, fostering inclusivity and enabling diverse organisations to contribute their expertise to meet local healthcare needs and improve hospital discharge processes. The competitive bidding resulted in the ST PAUL'S CENTRE being awarded, highlighting the potential for large-scale VCSEs. This service arrangement opens avenues for partnerships with healthcare providers and offers scope for contributing to social value frameworks, with quality criteria emphasising delivery, partnership working, and value for money.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Healthy Households Support Service

Notice Description

Hospitals continue to see, in line with the national picture a surge in demand leading to hospital corridors being transformed into temporary bed space with a knock-on effect to supporting appropriate but speedy discharge of patients who were medically fit. In a response to the system wide pressure Cheshire East Council directed its Community Connectors to work collaboratively with the two NHS trusts at Leighton and Macclesfield Hospital and its Adult Social Care Team to reduce the impact on these two areas. This service specification covers all service users of the Cheshire East Council Community Support Connectors Hospital Discharge and Adult Social Care workstreams. All service users will be adults (18+), be Cheshire East residents who are patients at Leighton or Macclesfield Hospital, or for Adult Social Care Referrals, fall in the scope of Cheshire East Councils Adult Social Care team. The core service provision required as part of this commission are as follows: * Provide dedicated additional capacity to support Cheshire East Council's Community Support Connectors Team and its partners in admission avoidance, discharge and wrap around support to people leaving hospital, for 7 days. (Wrap around support refers to a holistic, person-centred approach that coordinates multiple services around an individual's needs-covering areas like housing, health, education, and emotional wellbeing-to ensure consistent, tailored support.) * Provide wrap around support to people known to Cheshire East Councils Adult Social Care teams for 7 days in conjunction with Cheshire East Council's Community Support Connectors Team and its partners. * The service will be available across Cheshire East Monday to Friday during business hours. Whilst demand may require resource diverting to a targeted area, it is expected that capacity and availability will be equitable across the entirety of Cheshire East.
