This initiative is part of efforts to enhance health services in the region, specifically within the health and social work industry (CPV code: 85000000). The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the tender period set to start on 1st July 2021 and conclude on 30th June 2024. The estimated budget for this project is £300,000, with further communication regarding the tender expected by 1st February 2021. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those that specialise in providing short-term care services and rehabilitation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are well-suited to compete for this contract, as they can offer tailored services in line with the community-focused goals of the project. Collaborating closely with clinicians and a multi-disciplinary team will be essential for successful applicants. ## Notice We are seeking to establish the level of market interest in providing care to support a planned Short Term Care Centre for Plymouth. There will always be situations where it is necessary for people to be admitted for periods within an acute setting to meet their immediate health needs. However, unnecessary long-term hospital stays, and some hospital admissions can be avoided by offering a flexible intermediate care service within a community setting. Plymouth City Council and NHS Devon Clinical Commissioning Group, in partnership with Age UK, Livewell Southwest and NHS University Hospitals Plymouth, plan to redevelop The William & Patricia Venton Centre at Mount Gould in Plymouth into a 24 bed Short Term Care Centre. The service will offer short stay step-up care, providing quick assessment and intervention from community teams to reduce the risk of hospital admission, and step-down care for those medically fit for discharge from inpatient beds but requiring a period of rehabilitation and Reablement to promote independence before returning home. The specification links closely with Pathway 2 [D2A (2)]: short stay supported by a Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) and Primary Care for up to 28 days. The service will be delivered by a care provider, based at the 24 bed Short Term Care Centre. The care provider will work closely with Livewell Southwest clinicians and therapists. The Provider will work to latest government guidance related to hospital discharges and any other related guidance. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8b8a99f2-69d2-4ebe-9438-7de72e4f1839 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Oct 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Feb 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2021 - 30 Jun 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | PLYMOUTH CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | PLYMOUTH | | Post town | Plymouth | | Postcode | PL6 5UF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK41 Plymouth | | Local authority | Plymouth | | Electoral ward | Budshead | | Westminster constituency | Plymouth Moor View | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 22 Oct 2020 at 10:48 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8b8a99f2-69d2-4ebe-9438-7de72e4f1839 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8b8a99f2-69d2-4ebe-9438-7de72e4f1839 22nd October 2020 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.plymouth.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
