## Summary

The Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council is conducting an open tender for the "Provision of Discharge to Assess Beds" aimed at enhancing the hospital discharge process. This initiative, part of the health and social work services category, is geared towards alleviating pressure within the acute care sector by providing temporary support in residential or nursing home settings for patients who are medically fit for discharge. The tender is currently active, with a submission deadline set for 17 November 2020. The contract is expected to commence on 26 December 2020 and will last until 31 March 2021, with a total estimated value of £245,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in health and social care services, particularly those capable of providing residential support. Companies that can offer flexible and immediate care solutions would be well-suited to compete, especially those equipped to handle short-term assistance for discharge scenarios. By participating in this initiative, businesses can contribute to vital health services while potentially expanding their market reach within the social care sector.

## Notice

Tameside is introducing a Discharge to Assess (D2A) scheme to support the hospital discharge process helping to alleviate pressure within the acute sector by facilitating the discharge process through the provision of temporary support in a residential/nursing home setting for service users medically fit for discharge. This could be for a period of 1 to 2 days or could be up to a maximum of 6 weeks. Within this period the Council will be undertaking a Care Act assessment, along with any other assessments required to ensure that the long term care and support needs of the service user are identified/required by law, e.g. nursing assessments, mental health assessments, best interest assessments, etc. Please refer to the documents for the full specification.
