This initiative falls under the health and social work services industry category and is located in Berkshire, UK. The procurement process is in the planning stage, with a tender period that ends on 30 June 2020. The project aims to identify and enter into contracts for additional care home and care-at-home capacity during the Covid-19 emergency, with contracts beginning from 1 July 2020 and concluding on 30 September 2020. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with capabilities in care home provision or home care services. Businesses with existing capacity—such as hotels or private healthcare settings—that can quickly adapt to meet the urgent demands during this public health crisis may find this an advantageous opportunity. Companies should register their interest through the provided portal and prepare to submit cost indications, as the council prioritises swift responses in light of the urgent nature of this procurement. ## Notice This is not an invitation to tender Urgent response required The situation In the current context of the urgent need for a global response to tackle the coronavirus outbreak, Slough Borough Council wishes to identify and enter into contracts with providers of who may be able to assist with a temporary increase to its care home/specialist accommodation capacity and care at home capacity. Any such contract will be for the duration of the Covid-19 emergency. Any contract term will be agreed with providers. We are working with the health service to ensure as many medically fit people in hospital are discharged promptly to free up as much hospital capacity as we can to ensure beds are available for those that need them most. These beds will be primarily used for Discharge to Assess but may be used in any other capacity including long term care. Care may also be required in the home setting for lower needs persons. What we need The Council is particularly interested in identifying care home capacity from existing capability that wishes to enter into a block contract for the term of the emergency period. This may come from current capacity, capacity for that is close to completion or capacity that is currently not in use. This may be with or without staffing provision. The Council is also interested in understanding other capacity that may be brought into use with rapid adaptions such as hotels, student accommodation, shared accommodation and private healthcare settings. The Council further is interested in contracting for additional care at home capacity for the same duration.
