This planned tender falls within the health services and social services categories and is set to commence with future notices scheduled for release on 6th July 2020. The service aims to support clients aged 60 and over who are transitioning from therapy to support after a period of recuperation. The contract period is intended to run from 1st April 2021 until 31st March 2025, with additional details on how to respond becoming available upon the tender's release. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health and social care sectors, particularly those focused on community rehabilitation and elderly support services. Companies that specialise in volunteer management, rehabilitation services, or social inclusion initiatives will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The focus on bridging clinical services with supportive community initiatives means that both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) can play a vital role in delivering this innovative care solution for vulnerable residents in London. ## Notice The Integrated Commissioning Department covering the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster City Council are proposing to go out to market for a Post-Rehabilitation Step Down service to work across both boroughs. The proposed service will work in close partnership with Community Rehab and Falls services to offer a post rehabilitation step down continuum of support for clients aged 60 years and over. Referrals into the service will be at the point of discharge when a resident's needs change from therapy to support and confidence building. This will be delivered by trained volunteers supported by employed project staff who will support older people after periods of intensive input from health care professionals following a fall, stroke, or other illness-related disability. The aims of the service will be to: - Increase capacity to provide older people, discharged from Community Rehab Services, with extra volunteer support to achieve lasting change. - Support isolated older people to get active and regain independence following a fall or illness. - Improve mobility, physical health and mental wellbeing for older people with a disability or poor health. - Prevent social isolation caused by the abrupt withdrawal of rehabilitation services/healthcare professionals. - Promote independence, social inclusion and reduce health & social care usage. This service offer fits within the Falls Prevention pathway but is unique in the way it offers support to vulnerable residents by bridging the gap between a clinical service and a befriending service. Further details on how to respond will be made available in the Opportunity notice when the tender is released. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/75733931-dc33-42b8-8c3a-eb2de4dbad88 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 May 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 5 Jul 2020 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2021 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CAPITALESOURCING | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1E 6QP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services - 85320000 - Social services ## Release History - 21 May 2020 at 15:13 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/75733931-dc33-42b8-8c3a-eb2de4dbad88 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/75733931-dc33-42b8-8c3a-eb2de4dbad88 21st May 2020 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
