## Summary

The contract involves providing up to six beds with a person-centred and outcome-based approach. The procurement method is an open procedure with a tender deadline of 22nd December 2023. The contract period is expected to start on 2nd January 2024 and end on 31st March 2024. The location for delivery is in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender from Swindon Borough Council presents an opportunity for businesses in the social services and healthcare industries to compete. Companies offering hospital and related services or miscellaneous health services would be well-suited to bid for this contract. The phased approach and emphasis on person-centred care provide a chance for businesses to showcase their capabilities in delivering quality care services. The contract value is £100,000 GBP, making it an attractive opportunity for businesses looking to expand their presence in the healthcare sector.

## Notice

The contract is required to provide 6 nursing step down beds to support people with enhanced/complex needs from the acute hospital beds. We are anticipating the model to be a phased approach, this will however be determined by the demand during December 2023/January 2024. The phased approach will continue during January to a maximum of six beds. The support delivered will need to be person-centred and outcome based and the monitoring of the contract will be through a fortnightly meeting. People will be discharged from Great Western Hospital seven days a week with a requirement to use the trusted assessor to aid swift discharge within 12 hours. The initial contract term will be for 3 months (13 weeks) with an option to extend for a further 4 weeks for a potential total contract term of 4 months (17 weeks) as stated in the ITT documents.
