## Summary

The Southend-on-Sea Borough Council is currently conducting a tender for the "Assessment and Enablement Unit Pilot," aimed at improving mental and physical well-being in the health and social work services sector. This pilot project involves providing four bed spaces within an established residential care home in Southend, UK, for a duration of six months, starting from June 1, 2018, with a possible extension of up to three months. The deadline for submissions is May 10, 2018, and the estimated contract value is £50,000. The procurement method being used is an open procedure.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in health and social work services. Companies with expertise in residential care, rehabilitation, and support services for individuals transitioning from hospital care would be well-placed to compete for this contract. Engaging in this procurement process could enable businesses to expand their service offerings and establish valuable partnerships within the public sector.

## Notice

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council is commissioning a six-month Pilot project for 4 bed spaces within an established residential care home in Southend. This is to provide a temporary period of assessment and enablement of people, either following a hospital admission or where there is a risk of hospital admission, who are unable to return directly to/remain at home due to requiring 24/7 assessment and enablement for a period of up to 14 days. This will be with a view to improving mental and physical well-being and ability, and increasing independence and confidence in order to maximise personal independence whilst enabling a holistic assessment of any on-going support needs to enable each person to return home once able, to continue their recovery in a non-residential setting. The term of the Pilot is for six (6) months, with the option to extend by up to three (3) months.
