## Summary

The procurement process titled "Provision of Crisis Service in Central Lancashire" has been initiated by Lancashire County Council. This tender falls within the health and social work services category and is based in the North West region of England. The procurement process was conducted through an open procedure, with the tendering phase having ended on 3rd March 2017. The service is expected to operate from 1st July 2017 until 30th June 2019, with a total contract value of £600,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on delivering health and social care services, particularly those capable of providing 24/7 support to vulnerable adults. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSE) would be especially well-suited to compete for this contract, as the service aims to not only prevent unnecessary hospital admissions but also support informal carers during times of crisis, thereby enhancing community resilience and independence.

## Notice

The Crisis Service forms part of the intermediate care service which is a range of integrated services, and supports the promotion of independence and faster recovery from illness. The Service aims to prevent unnecessary acute hospital admission, premature admission to residential care, support timely discharge from hospital, to provide urgent care and support in crisis situations such as carer breakdown. The Service is to offer care and support for adults in their own homes when an acute situation or crisis occurs and who without additional support would normally be admitted to hospital or residential care. The Service can also be accessed to assist informal carers who may be experiencing a period of disability that prevents them from continuing with their normal caring role on a short-term basis or who are having difficulty coping in their caring role. The Service will be available 24 hours per day, 365 days per year and has to be made available to many Service Users at the same time in different geographical locations across Central Lancashire.
