This tender falls within the broader healthcare industry category, particularly under community and social work services. The procurement is currently at the open tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 2nd August 2019. The contract is anticipated to commence from 4th November 2019 and will run until 31st October 2020. The total estimated value of the contract is £312,000, and services are to be delivered within the East Midlands region, specifically in Leicester. This opportunity offers significant potential for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly for those providing community health services, home care, and social work services. Organisations that can deliver flexible and responsive care solutions or have experience in hospital discharge support would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. With an emphasis on integrating and preventing hospital admissions and care home placements, businesses that focus on person-centred planning will also find a conducive environment for growth in this transformative procurement initiative. ## Notice In line with Leicestershire County Council's (LCC) Adult Social Care (ASC) Strategy 2016-20, this service has been designed to ensure that Service Users get the right level and type of support, at the right time, in order to help prevent, reduce or delay the need for ongoing support and maximise their independence. The health and care system across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR) is being transformed through the Better Care Together (BCT) partnership. The partnership includes NHS organisations working alongside local authorities and a range of independent, voluntary and community sector providers. The partnership aims to keep more people well and out of hospital; move care closer to home, provide care in a crisis and deliver high quality, specialist care. In the future health and care will be delivered in community settings, with all partners focused on reducing unnecessary admissions to hospitals and care homes, reducing delayed discharges from hospital and providing a much stronger platform of integrated and preventative services. It is recognised that there is an expanding older persons' population with increasing health and social care needs which necessitates a new approach to commissioning services, shifting the focus from time and task activities, to the achievement of results through Person Centred planning and flexible service delivery. The Discharge Response Team (DRT) Service is designed to provide short-term home care services for people who are medically fit for discharge from hospital and have ongoing care or reablement needs in the community. DRT will mobilise quickly with very short notice to provide interim or "bridging" care and support to adults assessed as eligible for care, immediately after discharge from hospital, until their care package is set up and delivery commences. The DRT Service has been developed and managed in partnership by Leicestershire County Council and University Hospitals of Leicester (UHL) to support discharges from hospital and, in addition to home care bridging services, also offers a "Take Home and Settle" service and "Safe and Well" checks for adults leaving hospital, both of which are funded by UHL ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c6f2896-945d-4d67-b0b1-4fcde1be83e4 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Jun 2019 | | Submission deadline | 2 Aug 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Nov 2019 - 31 Oct 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £312,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE3 8RA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Blaby | | Electoral ward | Glenfield Faire | | Westminster constituency | Mid Leicestershire | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services - 85200000 - Veterinary services - 85310000 - Social work services - 85323000 - Community health services ## Release History - 20 Jun 2019 at 08:48 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c6f2896-945d-4d67-b0b1-4fcde1be83e4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c6f2896-945d-4d67-b0b1-4fcde1be83e4 20th June 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=310f35d3-0191-e911-80f8-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.leicestershire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
