This initiative falls under the services industry category, specifically classified as business analysis consultancy services, project management consultancy services, and research and development consultancy services. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with submissions accepted until 12th June 2018. Service delivery is set to commence on 11th July 2018 and will continue until 1st April 2020, covering a range of delivery addresses including the United Kingdom and overseas territories. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), to engage in consultancy services related to healthcare evaluation and volunteer management. Companies with expertise in research, project management, and business consultancy are well-suited to compete, providing valuable insights and evaluations that can enhance the overall effectiveness of the pilot programme and contribute to sustainable community support models. ## Notice The Home from Hospital pilot programme is a tri-partner project between the British Red Cross, HelpForce and the Gateshead Health NHS foundation Trust. It is supported by the Garfield Weston Foundation. We are working together for three essential reasons. - We believe there is critical need for better support for the rapidly ageing population; - The current pressures on the NHS and social services mean the public sector cannot fully fulfil this need; and - Volunteers, with appropriate support, can plug essential gaps helping to fulfil these needs. Based on these board principles we are piloting a volunteer led model to support patients. This model would see patients initially referred by clinicians, with a patient assessment conducted before discharge to identify their likely needs; followed by ongoing support by BRC staff and volunteers for up to 6 weeks providing a mixture of practical and emotional support, information and advice and signposting, and support to re-engage the local community. It is hoped this model will lead to 3 core outcomes: - Economic and efficiency savings for health service commissioners; - Patients experience an improved quality-of-life; and - The tri-partner service model is fully integrated and sustainable. Service delivery began on January 11th 2018 and will run for two years (concluding January 2020) The tri-partnership wish to commission an evaluator who will undertake three key objectives: - Provide ongoing low level monitoring to feed into continuous service improvement; - Understand the overall effectiveness of the programme and provide final recommendations about whether the model has the potential to expand, and any changes that could be made to help enhance overall best practice; and - Help support the engagement of wider stakeholders and make them aware of the difference this work has made. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e0ba7e1-f71a-49db-98f7-66aad6e35393 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 May 2018 | | Submission deadline | 12 Jun 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 10 Jul 2018 - 1 Apr 2020 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRITISH RED CROSS | | Locality | PAISLEY | | Post town | Paisley | | Postcode | PA1 1EA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM33 Inverclyde, East Renfrewshire, and Renfrewshire | | Local authority | Renfrewshire | | Electoral ward | Paisley East and Central | | Westminster constituency | Paisley and Renfrewshire South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 72221000 - Business analysis consultancy services - 72224000 - Project management consultancy services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services ## Release History - 8 May 2018 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e0ba7e1-f71a-49db-98f7-66aad6e35393 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e0ba7e1-f71a-49db-98f7-66aad6e35393 8th May 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY154420 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.redcross.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
