## Summary

Wiltshire Council is currently in the planning stage for the procurement of a "Home from Hospital" service contract aimed at providing short-term support for discharged hospital patients. This service, categorised under health and social work services, facilitates a smooth transition home, boosting confidence and independence while mitigating readmission risks. A market engagement event is scheduled for 13 April 2026 via Microsoft Teams, offering an overview of the contract and procurement timeline with the intention to award the contract in Spring 2027. Interested providers must register by 9 April 2026 to participate in this crucial engagement session, highlighting a significant potential partnership opportunity with the council. The anticipated commencement date for the new contract is 1 July 2027.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those with previous experience in transitional or home care services. Suited for VCSE (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise) organisations, the contract has a gross value of £400,000, promising a solid revenue stream for capable providers. Companies with innovative models that align with the council's vision of reducing long-term support needs will find this procurement favourable. Engaging in this process can lead to long-term collaboration, offering stability and the chance to influence service delivery practices in Wiltshire's evolving healthcare landscape.

## Notice

The Home from Hospital service provides short-term practical and emotional support (excluding personal care) for up to six weeks, seven days a week, for Wiltshire residents aged 18+ who are being discharged from hospital. The service supports a safe and smooth transition home, helping people regain confidence and independence and reducing the risk of readmission. It supports discharges on Pathway Zero (returning home independently with no further support) and Pathway One (returning home with homecare), with support gradually tapered as recovery progresses to help avoid long-term support wherever possible. The new contract is scheduled to commence on 1 July 2027.
