## Summary

Kirklees Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of designated accommodation beds, aimed at supporting individuals leaving hospitals who have tested positive for Covid-19. This procurement is classified under social work services and involves a total estimated contract value of £1,965,483.52. The contract commenced on 29th December 2020 and runs until 31st March 2021, with an option to extend for up to two additional years. The procurement method used was a limited procedure, specifically the award of contract without prior publication of a contract notice. The tender period concluded on 6th November 2020.

This contract presents significant opportunities for care home providers, particularly SMEs capable of offering designated accommodation services in response to the ongoing demands created by the pandemic. Businesses that specialise in care services and have the capacity to accommodate post-hospital transfers would be well-suited to compete for potential future extensions or similar contracts. As such, this procurement could facilitate growth for organisations looking to enhance their service offerings within the healthcare sector across various regions in the United Kingdom.

## Notice

Local Authorities have been instructed by the DHSC to deliver a designation scheme, with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), of premises for people leaving hospital who have tested positive for Covid-19 and are transferring to a care home. This is to be set up in an effort to keep patients discharged from hospitals from spreading the virus more widely. Local Authorities and CCG's were instructed to identify sufficient designated accommodation to meet current and future demand over Winter in their local area and notify CQC of the details of these facilities as soon as possible. Expressions of Interest were invited by the Council, on 16 October 2020, from Care Home Providers that were willing to become a 'Designated Accommodation'. Following receipt of EOI's the Council followed the requirements of the Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication procedure Reg 32(2)(c). The expiry date for the Contract(s) is 31 March 2021, with the option to extend for a further period, or for successive periods, up to 2 years from the Contract commencement date.
