## Summary

The Falkirk Council has awarded a contract for the provision of Short Term Assessment Service within the health and social work services category. The service aims to reduce delayed discharges from hospitals by focusing on rehabilitation and recovery in a care home environment in the Falkirk Council area. The contract has been signed on 23rd November 2022 with a total value of £2,800,000.

This tender opportunity can benefit businesses in the social work and related services sector, especially those providing care home services. The Falkirk Council has indicated a need for providers with a Care Inspectorate rating of 3 or above across all quality themes. Businesses should ensure compliance with the minimum requirements stated in the contract specification to enhance their competitiveness. The procurement method is an open procedure, creating a fair opportunity for eligible businesses to participate.

## Notice

Delayed discharges are rising to unacceptable levels due to care, including care at home, being unavailable. Remaining unnecessarily in hospital after treatment is complete can lead to rapid deterioration in physical and mental well-being, particularly in people with dementia. In addition, the occupancy of acute hospital beds by those who no longer need clinical care means these beds will not be available to those who do need them. The aim of the service is to support significant reductions in the number of people delayed in discharge from hospital until more appropriate care and support is available. Short term assessment care will have a clear focus on rehabilitation, recovery and recuperation in a Care Home environment within the Falkirk Council area.
