This initiative falls under the health services category and is aimed at commissioning local bed provision for patients in Harrow, with a focus on integrating care solutions for up to 43 beds over a maximum of four years, commencing in late 2019. A market engagement workshop is scheduled for 24th May 2019, which will be instrumental in shaping the service model and allowing networking opportunities among potential providers. Interested parties should note that the engagement feedback is crucial for informing the procurement strategy. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses within the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in rehabilitation and intermediate care services. Providers capable of offering flexible bed solutions and demonstrating an integrated care approach will find themselves well-positioned to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as their involvement aligns with the CCG's aim of fostering collaborative service delivery that meets the diverse needs of patients within the community. ## Notice NHS Harrow Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is inviting interested providers to engage with the CCG as it seeks to commission local bed provision for Harrow patients for Intermediate Care and also Step up and Step down. Harrow CCG recognises the benefits of having an integrated approach to commission maximum 43 beds for 2 years from late 2019 (before winter), with an option to extend this for up to a further 2 years. The service will require local intermediate care beds (step-up and step-down rehabilitation) for a wide range of conditions which are located in acute, intermediate care and community facilities. The bed base will need to be in close geographical proximity for Harrow patients. These beds are expected to provide treatment in a care environment with input from a range of health professionals to ensure the holistic needs of patients are met. The CCG are looking for an integrated approach to manage patient's needs. The CCG is happy to facilitate collaborative solutions between providers. Interested providers must be able to provide the CCG with beds that can be flexibly used as per the specification. This will ensure economies of scale and the ability of the commissioner to monitor quality and performance. A CCG hosted workshop session is planned for Friday 24th May 2019 from 1.00pm to 3.00pm in Harrow (venue TBC on receipt of interested provider contact details). This workshop is important to think through a viable service model approach whilst also allowing networking between providers. The current intention is to procure a new service this asap this summer for the service to commence autumn where possible, ahead of winter.
