## Summary

Norfolk County Council is initiating a procurement process for "Residential Beds for Adults to Support Hospital Discharge" in the social work services sector, specifically to address winter capacity needs in the healthcare system. This tender is currently in the planning stage and aims to engage potential providers to deliver additional residential beds across Norfolk, facilitating quick hospital discharges. Interested parties should express their interest by contacting the council before the deadline for submissions, which is set for 31 March 2021. The authoritative body is located at Martineau Lane, Norwich, NR12DH, United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in health and social care services, particularly those that can provide flexible and innovative solutions for short-term residential care. Companies that are appropriately registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and have the capacity to support hospital discharges rapidly will find this opportunity particularly suited to their expertise. Providers specialising in dementia care or those who can accommodate COVID-19 positive individuals may also have an advantage in fulfilling the requirements set forth by Norfolk County Council.

## Notice

Norfolk County Council (NCC) is seeking to commission a number of Winter Capacity Beds (Residential) to support hospital discharges during the winter period. During the Winter period, additional beds are required to support hospital discharges and to alleviate pressures to ensure there is available bed capacity in hospital settings.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

NCC is seeking expressions of interest from providers who have capacity in the market and who could offer flexible and innovative solutions to providing additional capacity. We wish to commission bed provision across Norfolk, to support all three Norfolk acute hospital systems and in particular hospital discharge. NCC wish to engage with providers who could offer Winter Capacity Beds using flexibility and innovation as appropriate, to provide a service to individuals discharged from hospital, who require a short term period of care and further assessment. As NCC is seeking to commission additional Short Term Bed capacity, providers will need to be appropriately CQC registered. If a provider can provide Enhanced provision, they will need to be appropriately CQC registered for Dementia. The vast majority of referrals into these beds would be to support hospital discharges. However, some individuals may require urgent/unplanned respite. NCC will support to facilitate the Discharge Process into residential settings, to help ensure admissions can take place quickly once identified and a dedicated operational team is in place to support individuals to move on from short term beds. Contract Requirements 1. All referrals to Winter Capacity beds will be made through NCC's Brokerage Service. 2. Providers must be able to support quick hospital discharge. 3. Winter Capacity beds will only be commissioned until 31 March 2021 unless an extension period is agreed by both parties. 4. Additional requirement - NCC are also seeking to commission bed based provision to support individuals who are COVID 19 positive. If you would be interested in the above opportunity and have availability within your service, please contact integratedcommissioners@norfolk.gov.uk (stating 'FAO Accommodation Commissioning Team' in the subject line) to ask further questions/to submit an expression of interest as soon as possible. A commissioner will follow up a detailed conversation with you. Thank you for your interest. Accommodation Commissioning Team, Adult Social Care, Norfolk County Council
