This initiative aims to meet the growing demand for high-quality nursing care across the county and includes the potential management of multiple care homes. The engagement end date for interested bidders is set for 2nd January 2020, with all services intended to be provided in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The procurement is looking to gauge market interest and gather insights on innovative service solutions, with interested parties encouraged to register on the Proactis e-tendering system. This tender presents significant opportunities for nursing and care service providers, especially those equipped to deliver both general and dementia nursing services. Businesses specialising in community health services, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs), may find themselves well-positioned to compete. The initiative aims to enhance the quality and affordability of care provision, which in turn may enable providers to secure long-term contracts with the Council, solidifying their presence in the healthcare sector. ## Notice Staffordshire County Council is considering the feasibility of commissioning an experienced Care Home Provider (with nursing) to manage, run and staff several County Council owned care homes across the County, for the delivery of high quality nursing care. Staffordshire County Council has identified a need for additional care homes with nursing capacity across the County, and consequently would like to gauge market interest in delivering care with nursing provision as part of an innovative unique service solution. It is intended that this service solution will allow the Council to achieve cost effective placements for individuals with nursing needs and also improve the Council's ability to place efficiently. There may be a number of sites with differing mobilisation dates. It is anticipated that all nursing beds will be for the sole use of the Council. The Council are keen to hear from providers who can deliver both general, dementia and nursing needs, and able to demonstrate that they can manage complex admissions in a timely manner, with a high percentage of admissions likely to come direct from an acute setting. Interested bidders are asked to register on the E tendering Proactis system (below) and express an interest in the opportunity. Further soft market testing may be undertaken in the future to further develop the approaches above, any requests for interested bidders to take part will be made via the Proactis system.
