The process is currently in the planning stage, with a market engagement for written comments scheduled to conclude by February 20, 2026. The service aims to support individuals over 50 who lack adequate family or community support, ensuring safe discharge from hospitals and preventing admissions. It includes short-term intervention services that operate across local hospitals such as Royal Gwent and The Grange, with an expected value of £250,000. The contract period is anticipated to begin on August 1, 2026, and continue until July 31, 2031. This procurement presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) skilled in health and social work services. Businesses with expertise in local resources and voluntary sector support are particularly encouraged to participate. Providers can leverage their knowledge to offer innovative solutions that enhance patient care transitions, ensuring hospital discharge is safe and efficient. The service will require strong coordination with social care teams and community healthcare professionals, which can be a growth area for businesses skilled in integrating community support mechanisms. Successful providers will aid in organizing practical assistance, fostering social engagement, and improving financial stability for those in need, presenting substantial growth potential for capable businesses. ## Notice We are recommissioning a hospital prevention and discharge service designed to help individuals remain or resettle in their own homes after hospital admission. This is a preventative service that does not require CIW registration and will not provide formal care. It aims to support people over the age of 50 living in Monmouthshire who lack suitable family or community support. The service will operate five to seven days a week and provide short-term interventions to enable safe hospital discharge or prevent admission. It will work closely with social care teams, hospital discharge teams, and community healthcare professionals across Monmouthshire hospitals and other local hospitals, including Royal Gwent and The Grange. Referrals may also come from community healthcare teams managing individuals at risk of admission. Support will focus on practical assistance and signposting. This includes helping individuals organize online shopping, access transport, and connect with community resources. Once immediate needs are met, the service will encourage social engagement and financial stability by facilitating benefit checks, linking to third-sector organisations, and arranging services such as Meals on Wheels. Successful provider must have strong knowledge of local resources and voluntary sector support. Although primarily delivered face-to-face, the service will include follow-up phone calls and emails to monitor progress and make referrals where necessary. ### Planning Information We are now inviting written comments from the market on the proposed service which will support us in shaping the service specification and future direction of the service.
