## Summary

The SOLIHULL METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL is conducting a procurement process for the provision of the "SOL - Short Term Care at Home (Pathway 1)" in the health and social work services category. This tender involves the Home Discharge Service and Early Response Service contracts, set to expire in September 2023. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period ends on May 10, 2023, with the bid opening scheduled for the same day.

This procurement opportunity offers businesses in the care provider sector the chance to secure contracts for delivering care and support services in Solihull. Companies specialising in health and social work services, particularly those experienced in home care and hospital discharge support, are well-suited to compete for these contracts. The potential for extension of up to four years provides additional long-term business growth prospects for successful bidders.

## Notice

Solihull's hospital discharge service, called the Home Discharge Service (HDS) and admission avoidance service, called Early Response Service (ERS) have both been running since 2020 and 2021 and the contracts are due to expire in September 2023. Both services provide care and support to people in their own home with a significant focus on maximising people's independence. HDS supports people who have been discharged from hospital and ERS supports people to prevent admission to hospital or long-term care. As the contracts are due to expire in September 2023, we are issuing this Invitation to Tender, with award to be for two separate contracts for ERS and HDS to two separate care providers.
