## Summary

The procurement process titled "Home to Settle" is initiated by Kent County Council, focusing on health and social work services aimed at addressing Winter Pressures in the East Kent area. The tender, expected to support the timely discharge of patients from healthcare facilities, will close at 5pm on Wednesday, 5 December 2018. This open procedure is expected to commence on 1 January 2019 and will run until 31 March 2020, with a total contract value of £160,000. The primary service delivery will take place within the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in health and social care support services. Businesses that can provide effective patient support and transitional care solutions, particularly for elderly individuals, will find they can leverage this opportunity to expand their operations and enhance their service offerings in the community, ultimately contributing to better patient outcomes.

## Notice

Home to Settle is a service being procured to support Winter Pressures in the East Kent area. Home to Settle - known more commonly as "Assisted Discharge" - is a service which identifies patients who are non-clinical blockers who can be supported in returning home earlier. The service also includes a front-door support which helps prevent re-admission of patients, particularly elderly people who live alone. Due to the nature of this Service, we are working on a very tight deadline, this opportunity is only open for the minimum required period, closing at 5pm on Wednesday 5 December.
