This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is listed as an open procedure, with bids invited until 11 May 2018. The contract is set to commence on 1 August 2018 and will run until 31 March 2020. The tender is based in Hertfordshire, with delivery addresses including various locations throughout the United Kingdom. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those experienced in supporting stroke patients. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will find this tender particularly suitable since the procurement is open to their participation. Companies that provide enabling support and have expertise working alongside multidisciplinary teams, including healthcare professionals and social care managers, will be well-positioned to compete effectively for this contract. ## Notice Hertfordshire County Council (the "Council") covers a population of 1.2 million. Hertfordshire is a two-tier authority with ten district and borough councils providing complementary local services to residents. There are two NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups covering the county. The Council provides a range of services, including social care for adults and children, schools and education, public libraries, public health, highway and road maintenance, environmental services, trading standards and household waste sites as well as a fire and rescue service. In Nov 2014 the Council awarded a new contract to one care provider to deliver stroke specific enabling support at home. The contract was split in to two parts, East and North Herts CCG area and Herts Valleys CCG area. The expectation is that Provider staff will co-locate and work closely with and under the direction of the multi-disciplinary team (MDT) which includes OT's, physios, community nurses and social care managers. The MDT has two bases, one in East & North Hertfordshire and the other in Herts Valleys. In line with the requirements of The Care Act 2014, Care Providers are required to focus on the well-being of the individual and the outcomes they want to achieve, helping them to have choice and control over their support and care needs. Additionally the multi-agency strategy Ageing Well in Hertfordshire 2014-2019 sets out key priorities to keep older people well, both physically and emotionally, enabling them to live in their own home for as long as they wish.
