## Summary

The Falkirk Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of a Supported Hospital Discharge Service in the health and social work services category. The contract was awarded to Avenue Care Services, with a total value of £2,000,000. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the contract was signed on 27th July 2022. This opportunity was open to businesses in the United Kingdom, with the primary aim of delivering short-term rehabilitation and assessment services for at-risk service users.

This tender by the Falkirk Council offers opportunities for SMEs in the health and social work services industry to compete for a significant contract worth £2,000,000. Businesses providing services related to short-term rehabilitation, reablement, and assessment for individuals at risk of long-term care or hospitalisation are well-suited to participate.

## Notice

The first strand Service is a short term rehabilitation, reablement and assessment service for Service Users at risk of requiring long term residential/nursing care or to prevent hospitalisation. The second strand is to promptly facilitate the discharge from hospital of in-patients or those presenting for emergency care who have been assessed as clinically fit for discharge but who may, following a further home based assessment, be found to have a need for reablement or rehabilitation and a requirement for short term or longer term support in order to remain at home. In both cases the Provider will work closely with the Service User, family carers, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, other health professionals and known community networks to facilitate a support plan that allows Service Users to remain within their homes.
