Procurement Information

Cardiff & Vale UHB have an urgent requirement for specialist Nursing support to help with a vulnerable patient. The requirement will initially be for 3 months with the option to extend further 3 months if required. A registered nurse with specialist training in mental health or registered learning disability nurse will be required to provide care on a one-to-one 24/7 assignment basis. Over the last 12 months, the HB have explored other options such as contracted agencies via all Wales framework. However, it has proven to be difficult to fulfil the shifts on an ad-hoc basis with the patients' circumstances. Where it has been difficult to fulfil shifts Senior or Lead Nurses have looked after the patient, pulling them away from the emergency unit and other patients' needs, putting significant pressure on the directorate. The patient's behaviour is deteriorating, hence the need for a reliable package of care. The requirement for a 24/7 care package has been offered to contracted agencies and no agencies were able to provide staff with the continuity and reliability required. There is not a contracted agency able to provide a package only ad hoc service. With patient risk in mind, the only option is to implement a reliable care package with Thornbury Nursing Services.
