This service aims to provide transport and initial settling support for patients discharged from care facilities to their homes or reablement units in Derby and Derbyshire. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically patient-transport vehicles, with a budget of £139,000 GBP. The tender is currently in the Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions on 10th January 2025, and the contract period is from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement method is an open procedure, suitable for SMEs and VCSEs looking to compete in this opportunity. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in patient transport and community integration services. Companies experienced in providing wheelchair-accessible transportation and those skilled in initial home settling support would find this particularly advantageous. The project involves low-level support for vulnerable patients returning home, which not only creates potential business growth but also contributes to community welfare. Businesses with expertise in integrated care solutions and collaboration with voluntary sector services are well-suited to apply for this tender. ## Notice Provision of Transfer and Settle Service for NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board. We are seeking a service to provide transport and settle Joined up Care Derbyshire (JUCD) citizens (at risk of readmission) from bedded care (NHS or Local Authority) to home (or a reablement unit) using wheelchair accessible vehicles. The service will provide 'settling in' once the person returns home and connect with other voluntary sector / statutory services if ongoing support identified through the strength based approach. Strengths and asset-based approaches focus on what individuals and communities have and how they can work together, rather than on what individuals don't have or can't do. Citizens using the service should be identified as Pathway 0 (P0) or Pathway 1 (P1) and able to stand and transfer from chair to chair with minimal support. Through provision of a low level 'settling in', citizens will be supported in their first few hours when they return. They may have been admitted to hospital in crisis and been away from their home for a number of weeks, meaning that support to get the heating on, food in and provide low level support to settle at home and connect them to onward services will provide a safety net at point of discharge. This is to reduce the risk of readmission for vulnerable patients who may not require care, but live alone and require increased low level support at point of return to their home. The service will deliver the ambition to support people to be discharged to the right place, at the right time and with the right support that maximised their independence and leads to the best possible sustainable outcome.
