A Market Engagement Event will be held on the morning of 23rd January 2018, with registrations required by 21st January 2018. Attendees will gain insights into service provision and the anticipated procurement process, making it essential for interested parties to secure their places early due to limited availability. This procurement opportunity presents a significant avenue for business growth, particularly for organisations that offer health and social care services capable of providing assessments and reablement support to patients transitioning out of hospital settings. Businesses that can deliver Pathway 3 bed-based step-down services or related healthcare solutions will find this engagement beneficial, as it not only allows them to understand the commissioners' needs but also to potentially participate in the upcoming tender process, which will be conducted via proportional procurement methods suitable for the service's complexity and value. ## Notice Midlands & Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit (ML CSU) on behalf of the commissioners, Leicester City Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), West Leicestershire CCG and East Leicestershire & Rutland CCG, would like to invite providers to attend a 'Market Engagement Event' which will inform the market of the commissioner's intentions to re-procure Pathway 3 Services in Leicestershire County and Leicester City. The aim of all the services is to deliver Pathway 3 bed based step down services to provide assessment and reablement services. The main benefits and expected outcomes are: * Support service users to reach their optimum level of self-care outside of the hospital environment after an in-patient stay * Assess longer term needs outside of the hospital environment * Increase the number of service users returning to their own home after an in-patient hospital stay * Simplify the transfer/discharge pathways from the acute and community sector * Ensure value for money and the most efficient use of available resources across the health and social care economy * To complete the creation of 5 distinct discharge pathways from hospital by providing a bed based reablement and assessment service The Market Engagement Event will take place in the morning on 23rd January 2018 in Leicester city or Leicestershire, location will be confirmed closer to the date.
