## Summary

Cambridgeshire County Council has completed the procurement process for the "Cambridgeshire County Council Rapid Discharge and Transition Service," a service within the health and social work sector, located in the East of England. The tender process, initiated under a mini-competition format on the Dynamic Purchasing System, culminated in an award on May 16, 2019. This contract, valued at £4,044,219, covers a period from June 3, 2019, to June 2, 2023, with options for extension. The tender period ended on April 18, 2019, and was designed to provide short-term domiciliary care for patients requiring support after hospital discharge, thereby alleviating delayed transfers of care.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the care and support services industry, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that specialise in domiciliary care and have experience in providing short-term transitional services would be especially well-suited to compete in future tenders of this nature. The procurement method used indicates a recurring need for similar services, suggesting ongoing business potential for providers proficient in community support and health care solutions.

## Notice

This procurement was a mini-competition from the Cambridgeshire County Council Home and Community Support Services Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) - reference DN243347, OJEU reference 2017/S 049-090359. Providers that had been awarded a place on the DPS and expressed an interest in delivering the Rapid Discharge and Transition Service, were invited to respond to the Invitation to Tender. The call-off contracts are for two years, with the option to extend for up to two further years (one year, plus one year), making four years in total (2+1+1). The service aims to provide a short term transition domiciliary care service for up to six weeks until long term, mainstream support can be sourced and put in place. This will reduce delayed transfers of care, expediting hospital discharge for service users who are medically fit but require emergency care and support to return home.
