This tender falls under the health and social work services category (CPV 85000000) and covers several areas within Hampshire under seven different lots. The contracts were awarded on 28th November 2024, with an estimated total value of GBP 21,528,000. The procurement method used was the PCR2015 Light Touch Regime. The tender period concluded on 27th September 2024. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those specialising in domiciliary care services. Companies with experience in providing short-term reabling services or live-in care are well-suited to compete for such contracts. This procurement process not only supports the effective management within the wider health system but also offers suppliers a chance to secure substantial contracts with values up to GBP 4,680,000 for individual lots. Businesses that can offer flexible and responsive care, particularly those capable of scaling services to support hospital discharge processes, will find this opportunity advantageous for growth and expansion within Hampshire. ## Notice Provision of home based care services inclusive of rapid support services and live-in care. The service is a short-term reabling domiciliary service offering timely support for individuals who may have an eligible Care Act need. These individuals may need support following discharge from a hospital setting or a short-term service to their own home or may require support to prevent the need for a hospital admission, thereby supporting flow and effective management within the wider system.
