## Summary

Kirklees Council, located in Huddersfield, England, has initiated a tender for the "KMCAS-156 Framework for the Provision of Rapid Access Beds" under the health and social work services category. This open procurement process aims to establish a framework for short-term, non-permanent residential care and nursing home stays, essential for freeing up hospital beds when patients are medically ready for discharge but require temporary care. The tender period concluded on 8th March 2021, with a total contract value of £15,600,000 covering services from 26th April 2021 to 30th April 2025.

This framework presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those operating within the Kirklees district. Businesses that can provide rapid access beds and related support services, such as care home providers and healthcare organisations, would find this opportunity particularly advantageous. With a focus on short-term stays, suppliers need to be able to demonstrate their capacity to manage fluctuating demand and offer swift support solutions. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are also encouraged to apply given their suitability outlined in the tender requirements.

## Notice

All documentation is available at www.yortender.co.uk. The purpose of this Framework Agreement is to allow Kirklees Council to block purchase beds within residential care and nursing home settings for short term, non-permanent stays. Short term stays are necessary to free up hospital beds, when Service Users are deemed medically fit to be discharged from Hospital but their long term care requirements/packages of care are not immediately available. These beds may also be utilised by people in community settings who require step up provision, for example following a carer breakdown, respite provision or to prevent hospital admissions. Previously the Council has entered into Contracts with care home providers such as the Choice and Recovery Beds, Winter Pressure Beds, and Discharge to Assess Beds. These types of Contracts will in future be competed from this Framework Agreement. The Council is working towards adopting a trusted assessor model of assessment of needs into the Contracts competed from this Framework Agreement. Where a trusted assessor model is required this will be detailed in the specification and further competition documentation for that particular contract. 1.6 As this Framework is for short term stays, the residential care and nursing homes for the purpose of this Framework must be located within the geographical boundaries of the Kirklees District as; i) it is not practical to transport a person seeking care to residential care and nursing homes outside the Kirklees district; ii) the social workers would not be able to check on a person outside of the Kirklees district; iii) GP registrations for such persons are restricted only to the Kirklees district.
