## Summary

The procurement process undertaken by Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust pertains to the "Home from Hospital Discharge Services" aimed at supporting service users and their relatives from the start of their hospital stay for up to three weeks post discharge. This service aims to facilitate a safe and timely discharge from the hospital, aligning with the Home First principles and enhancing patient flow to reduce bed shortages in secondary care. Classified under the industry category of Health Services (CPV: 85100000), the service is geographically located in the East Midlands, UK. The procurement process commenced with an open procedure, concluding its tender period on 23rd October 2024. The contract will commence on 9th December 2024 and extend until 8th December 2029, with a total contract value of £600,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and discharge planning services, particularly those adaptable to the Home First approach. Though the procurement process is open, it is especially favourable for large-scale suppliers such as health service providers and community care organisations that can manage patient support both pre and post-discharge, effectively reducing pressure on hospital resources. The Northamptonshire Carers Association has been awarded the contract, indicating a preference for organisations experienced in community health services. Businesses aiming to expand into the public health sector within the East Midlands may find this tender particularly advantageous for growth and service diversification.
