The procurement process is in the Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 15 October 2021. This opportunity is part of an initiative to provide transitional care for patients requiring extended support after hospital discharge, and the contracts are expected to commence on 1 November 2021, lasting until 31 March 2022. The total financial envelope for this procurement is approximately £1.1 million, with payments structured on a block and tariff basis according to occupancy. This tender presents a significant opportunity for growth, particularly for registered nursing homes capable of accommodating rehabilitation patients. Businesses specialising in health services, especially those with experience in providing intermediate care, are well-suited to compete for this contract. The focus on local suppliers within the designated areas underscores the potential for community engagement and service provision to enhance care pathways. Interested parties should contact Rachel Roocroft for further details and to obtain tender documentation. ## Notice NHS Chorley and South Ribble and NHS Greater Preston Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) on behalf of the Lancashire Place Based Partnership intend to source 41 general nursing intermediate care beds, 24 of which are expected to require rehabilitation. This will enable a cohort of patients to be transferred from hospital into a registered nursing home who need an extended period for discharge plans to be agreed and community support provided. The CCGs are planning to commission the beds with several providers with up to 5 beds within each registered nursing home dispersed across Central Lancashire. We will accept bids from registered nursing homes located within the Greater Preston and Chorley and South Ribble areas. This is a fixed term arrangement with the intention of the beds being available from the 1st November 2021 and for contracts to be in place until the end of March 2022. The capped financial envelope for these services is circa PS1.1m (capped at PS1,200 per bed per week, exempt of VAT) for the contract duration (22 weeks). (PS1,200 per bed per week includes any 1:1 isolation requirements that may be required). The contracts will be paid on an 80% block arrangement, the remaining 20% of the contract value will be paid on a tariff basis based on occupancy.
