This procurement falls into the health services category and is currently in the active tender stage. The tender will close on 6th March 2017, with the contract period commencing on 2nd May 2017 and running until 30th April 2018. The procurement follows open procedure regulations, specifically addressing Schedule 3 - Social and Other Specific Services as outlined in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for service providers in the health and social care industries, particularly for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations, to engage in a growing area focused on community health solutions. Companies capable of delivering flexible, timely, and efficient respite services, and those experienced in crisis management and community support, would find this opportunity particularly relevant, contributing to the long-term service design in Nottinghamshire while helping to alleviate the pressures on hospital facilities. ## Notice Nottinghamshire TCP wishes to commission a 12 month pilot Planned & Unplanned Respite Service as part of providing an alternative to hospital admission when this is not appropriate. The intention is for people to have the right support at the right time in the community. The aim is for the pilot to inform the long-term shape of Nottinghamshire's service model which needs to be capable of responding appropriately and confidently to a person experiencing difficulties in the community, or deterring/de-escalating a situation to prevent an unnecessary hospital admission. It is anticipated that the provision of respite services will reduce demand on hospital services, and release funds for community services by focusing on preventing crisis and addressing crises.

The Service(s) is/are being procured as "Schedule 3 - Social and Other Specific Services" and AGCSU is bound only by those parts of the Regulations applying to Schedule 3 services.
