This tender pertains to the healthcare industry, specifically focusing on the provision of support services for homeless individuals. The engagement end date for interested parties to contact NWL CCG is set for 29th April 2022. The services will be located in Westminster, and if awarded, the contract could begin on 1st May 2022, potentially extending up to three years. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in healthcare, social work services, and community support. Companies with experience in providing intermediate care beds, especially those that are locally based, may find themselves well-positioned to compete. The procurement aims to ensure that appropriate care is provided to homeless individuals, focusing on preventing hospital admissions, which opens avenues for innovative solutions and partnerships in addressing health care challenges within the community. ## Notice NWL CCG requires a locally based support service provider for intermediate care beds to the homeless community in Westminster The ICN Bed Principles are as follows: * To support people with escalating health issues that may end in hospitalisation if not provided with additional support offered by an ICN Hostel Bed - some improvements in health should be expected to take place within a 1-6 week timeframe. * Some recent history of multiple A&E attendances (5 or more within last 12 months). * Recourse to public funds. * To support the health needs of the person through an MDT approach that will enable the integrated care network to coalesce around the individual in order to ensure that appropriate care planning processes can be established e.g. the development & management of an individual care plan etc. * The ICN Bed should only be used as 'step-up' & not 'step down' provision i.e. the key remit for use of the bed is to prevent hospital admission & not to take those discharged straight from hospital. * Access to routine hostel accommodation through the usual channels has been tried for the individual concerned but without success. The local provider (The Passage) has been providing the service. The CCG will assess the needs of the service users and consider how (if relevant) it needs to secure the needs of the people who use the services and improve the quality/efficiency in the provision of the services. The location of the beds and the commissioning arrangements will be reviewed in 22/23. NWL CCG is of the view that the services described are capable of being provided only the Passage in the area. The purpose of this notice is to be transparent about the CCG's intentions and to invite anyone interested in delivering the services described above to contact us by 29th April 2022. If it is the case that The Passage is the only providers capable of delivering the services described, then the CCG will look to award a contract for up to 3 years starting on 1st May 2022. Whilst the CCG considers its procurement options for these services going forward, it may extend its arrangements with the current provider until a new contract is awarded. During 2022, it is anticipated that NWL CCG will be succeeded by an Integrated Care Board (ICB). Any future contract and/or procurement opportunity may therefore be in the name of the ICB. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/af4da94e-99ee-401b-aea5-a8327823d01d | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 29 Apr 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTH WEST LONDON CLINICAL COMMISSIONING GROUP | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | North West London | | Postcode | NW1 5JD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | Marylebone | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 75200000 - Provision of services to the community - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 29 Mar 2022 at 13:16 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/af4da94e-99ee-401b-aea5-a8327823d01d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/af4da94e-99ee-401b-aea5-a8327823d01d 29th March 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
