## Summary

The Wigan Council has awarded a contract for the provision of the Hospital Discharge Rapid Response Service to Cherish UK. The contract, valued at £665,496, falls under the category of Other community, social, and personal services. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with the tender period ending on 21st July 2023. The contract period will span from 25th September 2023 to 24th September 2026. The service will be available 7 days a week, 365 days a year, between 6 am and 11 pm, primarily serving the region of England.

This opportunity to provide the Hospital Discharge Rapid Response Service is suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. Businesses that excel in delivering community-focused care services and can operate within the specified service hours will find this tender well-aligned with their expertise. The emphasis on timely and safe discharge from hospitals, working in collaboration with various partner agencies, presents a chance for successful bidders to contribute positively to community health and wellbeing while growing their business.

## Notice

The Hospital Discharge Rapid Response Service will support and enable the safe and timely discharge of people from hospital who have been assessed as requiring support or provide an assessment of need in the community. It is intended that the Hospital Discharge Rapid Response service will act as a short-term service where the current or identified provider is unable to support the hospital discharge date with the objective of helping people home from hospital, ensuring safe discharge, getting them established at home and understanding next steps. Additionally, the service will include 2 x Team leaders who will be available 7 days per week (working alternate weekends) to provide timely assessment in the community on discharge, review support plans, contribute to MDT discussions and facilitate discharges. The service will work alongside Ethical Home Care agencies, Reablement, other partner agencies and family members to enable a safe and smooth transition where either ongoing commissioned care and support is required, short term reablement intervention or no ongoing support is required. The service will be available 7 days a week, 365 days a year and will operate between 6am and 11pm.
