## Summary

The procurement process involves the Cheshire East Borough Council seeking a provider for the 'Trusted Assessor Service', focusing on health and social work services. The contract, awarded on 22 October 2021, has a value of £183,038 and runs from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023. The contract requires the provider to deliver services at hospitals in the North West of England, specifically Macclesfield District General Hospital and Leighton Hospital, with an initial tender period that ended on 10 September 2021. This open procurement process has been designed to enhance patient care by supporting the transition of hospitalised residents back to care homes.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with experience in health and social services. Businesses that possess the capability to offer innovative assessment services within healthcare settings, and those skilled in collaborating with hospitals and other health services to facilitate smooth discharges, would be particularly well-positioned to participate in this procurement. Engaging with this project could help these businesses to broaden their service offerings and strengthen their market presence in the health sector.

## Notice

This is an opportunity of providing TRUSTED ASSESSOR SERVICE PROVIDED BY INDEPENDENT TRANSFER OF CARE COORDINATORS. This service will provide a trusted assessment function through Independent Transfer of Care Coordinators. This service will initially work with existing care home residents who have been admitted to hospital and require assessment prior to transferring back to the care home. In addition to this the provider will also link in with the British Red Cross service and other third sector organisations to deflect demand. The provider will continue to work flexibly and will work with hospitals to support 7-day discharges where possible. We would look for the provider to have a presence at Macclesfield District General Hospital and Leighton hospital to carry out the trusted assessment and for work to deflect demand in line with the specification.
