This will support the trust in being able to admit patients who require an acute mental health bed and will also support with the trust being able to step patients down from our psychiatric intensive care unit to improve flow across our entire bed base. The Five Year Forward View for Mental Health programme expressed the ambition to eliminate inappropriate out of area placements for non-specialist acute care by 2021. To ensure that the trust continues to deliver on this ambition set by NHS England, the provider of these 5 beds needs to be within the geographical boundary of Leicestershire and Rutland so that patients remain in their local area and therefore allowing the maintaining of relationships with family, carers and friends.as part of delivering on this ambition. NHS providers and commissioners are required to report the use of non-specialist services acute care via the Mental Health Specialist Data Set (MHSDS). In identifying a suitable provider, the practice within the trust which has been agreed and established through the trusts Bed Management Standard Operating Procedure states when considering the use of additional beds the trust will only place patients in providers with a latest CQC rating of "Good". ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025134-2024 | | Notice type | Planning 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 | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 25 Aug 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LEICESTERSHIRE PARTNERSHIP NHS TRUST | | Locality | GLENFIELD, LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE3 8RA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Blaby | | Electoral ward | Glenfield Faire | | Westminster constituency | Mid Leicestershire | | Delivery location | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85110000 - Hospital and related services ## Release History - 9 Aug 2024 at 06:39 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025134-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://www.leicspart.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
