## Summary

The NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit is initiating a procurement process titled "Prior Information Notice - Pathway 3 Service in LLR". This tender falls under the health and social work services category and is based in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement is currently at the planning stage, with future notices expected on 1st February 2018. The budget for this contract is set at £500,000, with an intended duration from 1st April 2018 to 31st March 2021. The tendering process is aimed at re-procuring Pathway 3 bed-based step-down services to provide critical assessment and reablement services for the Leicestershire and Leicester City Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs).

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those specialising in reablement and rehabilitation services. Given the emphasis on local frameworks and the provision of beds for assessment and therapy, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete. Engaging in this process not only enables providers to contribute to community health initiatives but also supports business expansion in a strategically important service area for local authorities and the NHS.
