## Summary

Cheshire East Council has launched a tender titled "Short Stay Beds," specifically aimed at acquiring beds to assist with hospital discharges for individuals awaiting a care package. The procurement falls within the social work services with accommodation industry category, with a total contract value of £132,450. The tender period ended on 22nd August 2021, and the contract runs from 23rd August 2021 to 31st October 2021. The procurement method employed is classified as "Other - WARN," which suggests alternative procedures were considered due to urgent requirements for these services in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in providing healthcare-related services and furnishings, particularly those that can supply short-stay accommodations for patients. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with relevant offerings are well suited to compete, especially those focused on health and social care solutions. Competitors may also include larger healthcare service providers, given the scale of the contract and the combined experience required to meet the needs of the contracting authority efficiently.

## Notice

The beds are urgently required to support hospital discharges for people who are unable to return to their own home, as they are awaiting a domiciliary care package, but who are clinically fit to be discharged from hospital.
