This procurement falls under the social work and related services category, specifically focusing on workforce development for care providers. The tender was initiated on 5th August 2022, with a total estimated value of £2,305,000 for two lots: the Strategic Market Support Service (£1,455,000) and the Care Home Trusted Assessors (£850,000). Although the status for this procurement is marked as unsuccessful, it reflects a critical initiative within the health and social care sector located in Lincolnshire, UK. This tender could present significant opportunities for businesses involved in care service training, workforce development, and health services that can deliver sustainable solutions to local care providers. Companies that specialise in educational services, personnel training, and operational support for healthcare facilities, particularly those focused on residential and nursing home services or community support services, would find this tender particularly relevant. Engaging with Lincolnshire County Council for future tenders in this space could help businesses expand their reach and strengthen partnerships within the care industry. ## Notice Lincolnshire County Council will be undertaking a procurement in line with Regulations 74-76 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (PCR) the light touch regime and pursuant to Reg 76(7) of the PCRs. The Strategic Market Support Service (SMSS) and Care Home Trusted Assessors (CHTA) contracts main aim is to engage with care providers to support and develop the market and to meet the demand for critical adult social care services. The SMSS provides long term stability through the delivery of a workforce strategy and supportive workforce training needs analysis, with the subsequent delivery of education and training courses to develop Lincolnshire care services and their workforce whilst ensuring the offer of support to the provider market is attractive and meaningful. This leads to a longer term plan of sustainability to ensure that all Lincolnshire residents who receive their care from independent and third sector providers in Lincolnshire will have those services delivered by a skilled, competent and caring workforce. The CHTA service aims to reduce the demand (and need) for care home managers (or care home staff) to attend an acute hospital setting to review the suitability of someone ready for discharge. The CHTA team complete discharge assessments in a time responsive manner which supports the urgency of operational capacity and demand in the acute hospital setting and promotes discharges seven days a week. ### Lot Information Strategic Market Support Service The Strategic Market Support Service (SMSS) contract will promote and deliver workforce development and training to all care providers in Lincolnshire, specifically (i) Residential and Nursing Home Services, (ii) Home Care and Community Support Services and (iii) Extra Care Housing. Care Home Trusted Assessors The Care Home Trusted Assessors (CHTA) contract will establish a team of suitably qualified and experienced staff to support operational hospital discharges pressures. Their role is to conduct an operational assessment of all individuals identified as medically optimised and fit for discharge from Boston, Lincoln, Grantham and Peterborough hospitals; who may require short or long term social care support. On completion of the assessment, supplementary information is collated and submitted to the provider(s), reducing the necessity for individual providers to attend the hospital to complete their own assessment and therefore reducing unnecessary delays to hospital discharge. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021609-2022 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Aug 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 5 Aug 2022 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | £2,305,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Unsuccessful | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Unsuccessful | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LINCOLNSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | LINCOLN | | Post town | Lincoln | | Postcode | LN1 1YL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF3 Lincolnshire | | ITL 3 | TLF30 Lincolnshire CC | | Local authority | Lincoln | | Electoral ward | Carholme | | Westminster constituency | Lincoln | | Delivery location | TLF3 Lincolnshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 80 - Education and training services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 79632000 - Personnel-training services - 80490000 - Operation of an educational centre - 85100000 - Health services - 85300000 - Social work and related services ## Release History - 5 Aug 2022 at 15:04 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021609-2022 ## Notice URLs - https://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
