## Summary

Cheshire East Council is procuring a Rapid Response Care at Home service aimed at facilitating the safe discharge of service users from hospital to their homes, while also supporting those at risk of unplanned hospital admissions. The contract, valued at £66,000, falls under the classification of social work and related services and is being awarded after a tender process that concluded on 30th July 2019. The contract is set to commence on 1st August 2019 and will run until 30th September 2019. This procurement process was executed as a single tender action below the threshold.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses primarily involved in social and community care services, particularly those capable of supporting service users with complex health needs. Both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete for this contract, leveraging their specialised skills to provide essential care solutions in the North West of England.

## Notice

The Rapid Response Service will facilitate the safe and effective discharge of service users from hospital who have been declared as medically fit for discharge but who may still have care needs that can be met in the service users own home. Additionally, the service will support people at risk of unplanned hospital admission, carer breakdown and crisis/ high risk cases. Successful service providers will also be expected to provide support to Service Users with complex health needs. Following a period of support via the Rapid Response, service users transfer either to a long term package via one of the other contractual arrangements - Care at Home or Complex Care and Support - or no longer require a long term package of care.
