This initiative falls within the health services industry and is located in the South East of England. The procurement method is open, allowing various providers to participate, and the tender period concludes on 11 December 2019. The contract, valued at £99,000, is set to commence on 13 January 2020 and will run for approximately three months until 13 April 2020. This tender presents significant opportunities for providers of health and social care services, particularly those specialising in home care and support services for patients recovering from hospital stays. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, especially those with innovative approaches to delivering care without necessarily requiring nursing qualifications. Successful bidders will have the chance to engage in critical care assessments and contribute to improving patient outcomes in the community setting. ## Notice Medway Council and NHS Medway Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), working with Medway NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) wish to pilot a 24hr Care at Home service to support patients to return home and settle prior to assessment. It is envisioned that this would likely be nurse-led care, however, consideration will be given to providers who do not provide nursing care but can evidence how their approach will be effective in supporting higher levels of need. Once people no longer need hospital care, it is widely acknowledged that being at home is the best place to continue recovery. Unnecessary delays, especially when discharging older patients home from hospital, leads to worse health outcomes and increases in long-term care needs. The intention of this pilot is to support more complex assessments to take place at home and reduce acute bed days lost for patients who are medically optimised. The 24 Hour Care at Home model will provide intensive care and support over a 72-hour period initially, which can be extended for up to two weeks. This provides the Person, following an acute episode of care in hospital, the opportunity to have a holistic Health and Social Care Assessment in their own home environment and provides an analysis of both physical and emotional improvement out of an acute setting.
