## Summary

The procurement process titled "Rapid Discharge Service Lots 2 and 8" is managed by Hampshire County Council, located in Winchester, England. This initiative falls within the health and social work services industry category and involves tendering for a service designed to facilitate timely hospital discharges. The tender period concluded on 31 August 2021, and the contract commenced on 1 October 2021, running until 30 September 2022. This procurement was executed through a call-off from a light touch Open Framework, with a total budget of £598,600 allocated for the project.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in domiciliary care and reablement services, especially those capable of rapid response in health care settings. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially well-suited to compete, given the focus on flexibility and timely service delivery for individuals transitioning from hospital to home. The requirement to manage care for potentially Covid-19 positive individuals further enhances the demand for providers equipped to handle sensitive health care scenarios effectively.

## Notice

The Domiciliary Care Rapid Discharge Service (RDS), is a short-term reablement and domiciliary service offering timely discharge of individuals who may have an eligible Care Act need. These individuals may need support with discharge from a Hospital setting to their own home or may require support to prevent the need for a hospital admission, thereby supporting flow and effective management within the wider system. The service may be used whilst a long-term package of care is being sourced via brokerage, to bridge a package of care until the existing provider has capacity to restart the package following a hospital admission, to provide an assessment period to enable a full Care Act assessment or to prevent a hospital admission. All individuals discharged into this service will be followed up by a member of Hampshire County Council's Reablement or Social care team. Individuals discharged into this service may be Covid-19 positive and there is an expectation that the service provider will accept these individuals into this service. The Service Provider is expected to manage this need appropriately and in line with NHSE guidelines. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-providing-homecare/coronavirus-covid-19-provision-of-home-care As a short-term service, the Provider will be expected to accept all referrals and begin packages of care within 24 hours of referral. The Provider will be able to provide care for the Individual for a maximum of 14 days until long term provision or other appropriate services may be sourced.
