## Summary

The NHS Midlands and Lancashire CSU is undertaking a public procurement process for the provision of General Nursing Intermediate Care Beds. This tender, classified under health and social work services, aims to source 41 nursing beds, with 24 designated for rehabilitation needs. The procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, with submission deadlines set for 15th October 2021. The intended contract period runs from 1st November 2021 to 31st March 2022. Bids are welcome from registered nursing homes within the Greater Preston and Chorley and South Ribble areas, with a financial envelope of approximately £1.1 million, paid on an 80% block arrangement based on an occupancy tariff.

This tender presents significant opportunities for local registered nursing homes, particularly those that can deliver quality care and support for rehabilitation. Businesses specialising in healthcare services and rehabilitation centres are well-positioned to compete, as the contract involves providing care for patients transitioning from hospital to nursing homes. Given the urgency stemming from recovery needs post-Covid, this is an essential service that requires timely and responsive care providers, fostering potential growth avenues in the local healthcare market.

## Notice
