UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Tyneside Borough Council is seeking a provider for a Home Transition Bed Service: a time-limited pilot of 10 short-term residential care home beds in North Tyneside. The service is intended to support safe, timely discharge from hospital, improve patient flow and reduce the risk of people waiting for care in unsuitable hospital settings, including corridors, during winter pressure. This is a health and social care service. The beds and care provision are to be delivered in North Tyneside.

The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition under the Light Touch Regime. The contract covers one lot. The enquiry deadline was 21 October 2026 at 23:59:59, and the submission deadline was 23 October 2026 at 09:00. The initial contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 28 February 2027, with monthly extensions of up to four months, for a maximum contract duration of eight months. The estimated value is £161,780 excluding VAT (£194,136 including VAT). Evaluation is entirely quality-based: seven-day service delivery and system integration each carry 20%; workforce and recovery practice, mobilisation, quality and safety, and performance management each carry 15%.

The opportunity is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. It is best suited to providers able to operate a seven-day residential transition-bed service and coordinate effectively with hospitals and the wider care system to support timely discharge. Delivery requires the ability to mobilise and manage 10 beds in North Tyneside, alongside suitable workforce and leadership arrangements and recovery-focused practice. Providers should be able to demonstrate strong quality, safety and risk management, and to monitor performance, report results and make continuous improvements. The evaluation places equal emphasis on the seven-day model and multidisciplinary working, with substantial weight also given to mobilisation, staffing, safe care and service oversight. The stated service purpose is to help relieve winter hospital pressures through short-term residential care.
