This procurement is classified under health and social work services and is taking place in the East of England. The process is currently in the planning stage, with a crucial engagement deadline set for 5pm on 13th January 2021. Interested parties are encouraged to express their interest by completing a questionnaire and submitting it to the provided email addresses. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sectors, particularly those that specialise in bed-based care and support services for older people, individuals with physical disabilities, and mental health support. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are particularly well-suited to participate in this competitive process. By collaborating with local authorities to meet urgent healthcare needs during the pandemic, businesses can establish valuable partnerships and expand their service offerings in a challenging yet critical environment. ## Notice Due to the unprecedented pressures arising from the pandemic and the new variant of COVID 19 Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) and Peterborough City Council (PCC) are urgently seeking to secure additional beds within the market on behalf of both Local Authorities and the CCG as a joined up system response to the immense pressures our hospitals are facing. CCC and PCC are urgently seeking your experience and views on how we can support the community and wider health system to operate during the unprecedented pressures exacerbated by the new variant of COVID 19 and the urgent need to discharge clinically fit individuals who need to complete their isolation period following a COVID positive test result in order to maintain hospital capacity for the most acutely unwell. This is an opportunity for bed based care and support providers to submit suggestions as to how the market could help the system to offer the urgent support for the following cohorts of people as soon as possible for the next 3-6 months across Older People, Physical Disabilities and Mental Health. For more information, see attached document. To express an interest complete the questionnaire in the attached document and return to michelle.foster@cambridgeshire.gov.uk and Claire.smith@peterborough.gov.uk by 5pm on Wednesday 13th January 2021. If you would like to discuss this opportunity please do not hesitate to send an email to Michelle Foster with your contact details and she will give you a call as soon as possible to discuss. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/61ce9814-79c3-49a6-940e-bd2a63980005 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jan 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 13 Jan 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LGSS | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB3 0AJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Cambridge | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Cambridge | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 8 Jan 2021 at 15:06 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/61ce9814-79c3-49a6-940e-bd2a63980005 - 7 Jan 2021 at 14:40 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/61ce9814-79c3-49a6-940e-bd2a63980005 - 7 Jan 2021 at 14:38 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/61ce9814-79c3-49a6-940e-bd2a63980005 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/61ce9814-79c3-49a6-940e-bd2a63980005 8th January 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e0d4cca7-ea19-4fcc-b4be-fe67b76cdac2 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
