This initiative falls under the health services industry category and is based in the East of England, UK. The procurement process is in the planning stage, with a key milestone engagement end date set for 12 August 2019, at 23:59. The council aims to gather insights from potential service providers regarding the delivery of care services, particularly focused on hospital discharge and preventative services, to improve efficiency in local healthcare. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those with capabilities in community-based support and hospital discharge systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations would be well-suited to compete, as the council seeks innovative approaches to enhance care provision while supporting citizens in living independently. Engaging with this tender could facilitate significant growth opportunities for businesses eager to expand their services in the public health sector. ## Notice Cambridgeshire County Council & Peterborough City Council, via their strategic Partnership with Serco Procurement are keen to gain valuable provider insight and are seeking views from potential providers on how best to deliver care services, hospital discharge and preventative services. Cambridgeshire County Council in collaboration with Peterborough City Council are developing plans for the provision of care and support services to enable people to be effectively and efficiently discharged from hospital and positively impact DTOCs as well as Admissions Avoidance initiatives and to respond to demand peaks in the health and care system, e.g. winter pressures. The current need consists of: 1) Care Home Support- CHTA (in all 3 acute hospitals) and any other initiative that helps care homes fill places quickly and efficiently 2) Support at Home- community-based, helping older adults remain independent in their own home for longer. 3) Social Care Support to aid hospital discharge or admissions avoidance. 4) Prevention service In line with their 'Home First' philosophy, Peterborough and Cambridgeshire remain committed to providing community based services that enable patients to remain at home/return home as soon as possible after a health event. It is also important that community based preventative services are in place to ensure that people are supported to live independently in the community to reduce the need for the escalation of social care or health needs.
