This initiative falls under the category of residential health facilities services and is located in West Yorkshire, specifically at the NHS North Kirklees CCG, Empire House, Dewsbury. Key dates include an engagement end date of 11 December 2018 and a follow-on event scheduled for the same date from 12:00 to 14:00. This tender aims to provide a local integrated service that enhances care delivery closer to home and reduces unnecessary hospital admissions. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those involved in providing support services to care homes. Organisations that can demonstrate capabilities in patient registration and community nursing services will be well-positioned to compete. The NHS is encouraging small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations to participate, making this an ideal opportunity for innovative service providers looking to expand their reach in the public sector. ## Notice The provision of a local integrated Care Home Support Service is a key element of the CCG's plan to deliver care at /closer to home to the improve quality of care and reduce the need for hospital attendances and admissions. Current service provision is delivered by a number of GP practices supporting each care home and a Care Home Support Service provided by Locala across the Greater Huddersfield area. Routine community nursing care into care homes is provided as part of our core community contract. The majority of patients are currently registered with either a Greater Huddersfield or North Kirklees CCG GP, however a very small minority of patients in Kirklees care homes may be registered with a GP practice in neighbouring CCGs. The provider of the new Care Home Support Service will be required to have the ability to register patients for general medical services. This Care Home Support Service will be pivotal in helping to drive change, working collaboratively with local healthcare providers and stakeholders to plan for, and co-ordinate on-going health care with the primary aim of keeping individuals well and/or stable. This approach will be underpinned with robust care planning to ensure all care is optimised, delivered in the care home, and wherever possible, avoiding a hospital attendance or admission. Bidders are invited to a follow on event on Tuesday 11 December 2018 from 12:00 - 14:00 at NHS North Kirklees CCG, 4th Floor, Empire House, Wakefield Old Road, Dewsbury, West Yorkshire WF12 8DJ.
