This process, classified under health and social work services, is currently in the planning stage and requires an urgent response due to the pressing need for increased capacity amidst the ongoing coronavirus situation. Interested parties should respond by 2nd June 2020 to ensure they are considered for this opportunity. The procurement initiative aims to explore options to facilitate the prompt discharge of medically fit individuals from hospitals, thereby enhancing service delivery in the region. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the health, social care, and accommodation sectors, including care homes, private healthcare facilities, and adaptable properties like student halls or hotels. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement process is designed to accommodate a diverse range of providers with innovative solutions to address the acute demand for care services. Engaging in this tender could enable businesses to establish partnerships with public sector organisations and potentially expand their service offerings within the region. ## Notice URGENT RESPONSE REQUIRED In the current context of the urgent need for a global response to tackle the coronavirus outbreak, NCC is looking to the capital estates market to explore where options may exist to provide a temporary increase to its care home/ specialist accommodation capacity. We are working with the health service to ensure as many medically fit people in hospital are discharged promptly to free up as much hospital capacity as we can to ensure beds are available for those that need them most. If you have care home capacity, a new home nearly complete which could be bought forward, an old home which could be bought back into use please respond (with or without care staff and other staff). If you have capacity in other capital estate which may be useful and quickly adapted please respond (e.g. student halls or residence, private healthcare setting, studio apartments, hotel, holiday accommodation etc.). The need is now and likely to increase. Please respond as soon as you can gather basic information. We can work up the details as we progress. This EOI will remain open to responses until we get a sufficient level of responses to start to explore further, and may be reopened in future. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b5f2656c-1d19-4af4-8c84-e728174b05fa | | Notice type | Market Engagement 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 | 17 Apr 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 2 Apr 2020 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | 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 | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTHAMPTONSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | NORTHAMPTON | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN1 1ED | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF24 West Northamptonshire | | Local authority | West Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Northampton North | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 17 Apr 2020 at 10:11 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b5f2656c-1d19-4af4-8c84-e728174b05fa - 17 Mar 2020 at 20:32 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e95762e6-920d-47ff-af86-b726e7bf5a18 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b5f2656c-1d19-4af4-8c84-e728174b05fa 17th April 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e95762e6-920d-47ff-af86-b726e7bf5a18 17th March 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=c2073b22-5a68-ea11-80ff-005056b64545&p=4d8cb5a5-74dc-e511-810e-000c29c9ba21 Pro Contract Link to NCC Expression of Interest - Care Home and Specialist Accommodation Capacity in Northamptonshire ## Notice URLs - https://www.lgss.co.uk/about/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
