This tender is in the open stage of the procurement process, with expressions of interest due by 4th November 2019. The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2020 and will run for a duration of one year, with an expected value of approximately £460,000 per annum. The service falls under the health and social care industry category, specifically providing short-term assessment and rehabilitation services to support individuals post-hospitalisation in the North East of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in health and social care services, especially those experienced in rehabilitation and residential care. Companies that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this particularly advantageous, as NECS is actively seeking expressions of interest from such organisations. The successful bidder will play a crucial role in delivering effective care options that enhance patient well-being while offering a viable pathway for these businesses to contribute to community health services and expand their operational footprint in the sector. ## Notice North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) is a commissioning support service hosted by NHS England and is supporting a procurement process to award a short term contract for the provision of Intermediate Care Rehabilitation Beds in Darlington for and on behalf of NHS Darlington Clinical Commissioning Group (DCCG). This short term contract is to enable the DCCG to continue to deliver services in a robust and cost effective manner whilst undertaking a review to enter into a future procurement process of all Intermediate Care beds currently provided in the Darlington locality which will be effective as a single contract from 1st April 2021. The current services provided are 14 intermediate care rehabilitation beds and 9 short stay nursing beds, which will be subject to review prior to the commencement of any further procurement process. Intermediate care, for the purpose of this service, provides short term assessment, rehabilitation, re-ablement and recovery care, delivered in partnership with local health and social care organisations, to support people to improve or regain independence, health and wellbeing. It provides an alternative to admissions into acute or long term care and is used to facilitate the transfer of care from hospital, thus aiming to support people to return to their own homes as soon as possible. The service will provide individualised packages of care that responds to the need of the resident, their quality of life and allows them to make choices about their future, based on an assessment of need which identifies the health and social support that each resident requires, including the therapy input which will be provided by RIACT (Responsive Integrated Assessment Care Team) services in Darlington to each resident, but supported by staff within the Home setting. DCCG is looking to award a short term contract for the provision of short stay 24 hour residential care up to six weeks for care to residents whose condition does not require support within an acute hospital setting. The provider will ensure that a maximum of 14 beds are available from contract commencement up to 31 March 2021. The value for delivering this short term contract is approx. 460000GBP per annum. DCCG is looking for expressions of interest in delivering this contract.
