This project has a budget of £300,000 and is scheduled to run from December 1, 2019, to November 30, 2021. The procurement will focus on various support activities such as improving discharge processes, admission avoidance, and collaboration with voluntary organisations. Interested parties must submit a brief service description by 27 September 2019, at 13:00 hours, to be considered for this opportunity. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in social care, community services, and healthcare support, particularly those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that can provide innovative solutions to enhance patient experience, assist with transport, and prevent hospital readmissions will be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this procurement could significantly aid in expanding business operations and securing long-term partnerships with the NHS. ## Notice This winter (2018/2019) the Authority's Emergency Department (ED) saw demand increase by 9.4% over the same time last year (22.3 extra patients per day) with an increase of over 75 year olds attending (6.3% - 48 patients per day). Over the same period the Authority collaborated with a national voluntary organisation for a six month pilot to support patients in ED, care of the elderly wards and the discharge lounge. The main aims of the pilot being to support discharge home, prevent readmissions and offer an improved patient experience whilst in hospital in order to prevent some deconditioning caused by lack of stimulation. The aim of the Authority is to continue working with voluntary services with an enhanced focus in key areas (supporting transport, admission avoidance and discharge) and to provide support to patients in hospital via seven work streams.
