This initiative falls under the health and social work services industry category. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 22 February 2022. Two engagement events will take place on 25 and 28 February 2022, focusing on improving the discharge to assess model in Leicester and Leicestershire. The estimated contract value is £1,000,000, subject to change, and organisations interested in these services must register for the events by completing a booking form by 14:00 hours on 22 February 2022. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those specialising in intermediate care services or those with experience in complex care needs. The Online Market Engagement Event aims to foster collaboration with commissioners, enabling participating businesses to shape the future service model and influence key decisions. Engaging with this process could also lead to subsequent contracts, making it an appealing prospect for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their service offerings within the local healthcare landscape. ## Notice THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION Leicester City Council (the Authority), on behalf of our local systems partners in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, is leading the commissioning review of the discharge to assess Pathway 2 arrangements for Leicester and Leicestershire to ensure that our performance as a system continues to deliver good outcomes for people discharged from an acute setting. Our long-term aim is to have a robust and coherent discharge to recover, then assess model in place that can deliver good outcomes for those requiring a period of bed-based reablement and recovery. This compliments the significant amount of work being done around Pathway 1 as part of our Home First offer. Further to the Soft Market Testing recently undertaken by the Authority as part of the commissioning process, the commissioners of Discharge to Assess (D2A) Pathway Two Review are keen to hold an Online Market Engagement Event. The Online Market Engagement Event is anticipated to be particularly focused on the Pathway 2 model (which are also referred to as intermediate care services). This is an opportunity for organisations interested in tendering for these services to work with commissioners to inform key elements of the model. There are two similar events, each event will provide opportunities for organisations to discuss their thoughts around: * The model for P2 and the capacity we need for services and how other NHS and social care services will support the model we need for Leicester and Leicestershire * How we incorporate specialisms into the model to support people with more complex needs and how we achieve the right outcomes for people accessing services. The engagement event will be held remotely through Microsoft Teams. The Online Market Engagement Events are being held on Friday 25 February 2022 commencing at 10.00 a.m. to 12 noon and on Monday 28 February 2022 commencing at 10.00 a.m. to 12 noon. Interested organisations should only attend one of these events.

Contract value of PS1,000,000 is estimated at this stage of the process and is subject to change. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b3d5bdfe-e06a-4761-bdaa-aec8005af928 | | 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 | 20 Jan 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 22 Feb 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,000,000 | | 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 | LEICESTER CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE1 1FZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF21 Leicester | | Local authority | Leicester | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Leicester South | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 20 Jan 2022 at 15:29 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b3d5bdfe-e06a-4761-bdaa-aec8005af928 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b3d5bdfe-e06a-4761-bdaa-aec8005af928 20th January 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert/?advertId=f7b849cf-c779-ec11-8110-005056b64545 Link to Booking Form ## Notice URLs - http://www.leicester.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
