## Summary

The procurement process, led by Cadent Gas Limited, focuses on the DAWS partnership with NHS charities in Birmingham, falling within the community health services industry category and classified under 'Private utility'. The contract aims to provide critical services that support energy efficiency and income maximisation, ensuring patients can return to warm homes post-hospital discharge, thus alleviating bed blocking issues and associated NHS costs. This direct award follows a completion status, primarily due to unique NHS collaborations needed that preclude other suppliers. Situated in the United Kingdom, the contract period starts on 31st March 2026 and concludes in March 2028, with provisions for an extension of up to three additional years. The supplier involved in this contract is Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, with the contract valued at £1,700,000, grossing £2,040,000.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in community health services, utilisation of energy efficiency solutions, and the development of vulnerability strategies. Ideal contenders include enterprises with established links to NHS or similar organisations, given the necessity for integrated patient and NHS engagements to fulfil the contract's deliverables effectively. Firms with capabilities in offering not only competitive service delivery but also strategic alignment with government initiatives on reducing hospital stay durations could reap significant growth benefits from this contract. Operationally, the opportunities extend to businesses that can innovate within the parameters outlined by Cadent Gas Limited, leveraging the direct award structure to synchronise their services with the stipulated requirements.

## Notice

The service offers advice and support on income maximisation, energy efficiency, PSR and CO. The project is designed to ensure that people can return home from hospital to a warm home as patients are unable to be released from hospital if they do not have a warm home and this causes bed blocking at great expense to the NHS. The continuation and expansion of the programme into GD3 requires further investment and will allow us to continue supporting this at-risk customer group. There are no other organisations that can access patients or NHS services other than NHS or NHS charities. This award-winning project forms the foundation of one of our strategic pillars for our vulnerability strategy
