## Summary

The Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council is conducting an open procurement process for the "Provision of Transitional Beds (Winter Pressure)" services, aimed at facilitating patient flow from local hospitals. This opportunity, classified under health and social work services, has a total contract value of £93,130 and is set to cover a contract period starting from 26 December 2020 to 31 March 2021. The tender period closes on 20 November 2020, providing a window for interested parties to submit their proposals.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the healthcare and social care sectors, particularly those that can provide temporary accommodation services. Businesses that have experience in healthcare support, transitional housing, or similar services would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, helping them to expand their service offerings and reach in the community while supporting the local healthcare infrastructure during peak winter demands.

## Notice

Tameside has, for the last couple of years, block purchased 'winter pressure - transitional beds' to facilitate patient flow from the local hospital. These beds will be used where the service user is medically fit for discharge but their preferred care home of choice is not available. The beds will therefore be used as a short-term placement until the service user's preferred accommodation becomes available.
