The project location includes areas within Glastonbury, Martock, Yeovil, and Taunton in the UKK23 region, with each site expected to be within close proximity to local hospitals. Currently in the planning stage, this tender operates under the Provider Selection Regime and is scheduled to announce a future contract notice by 1st September 2026. Business organisations interested in participating are encouraged to contact Somerset Council by 29th July 2026 to express their interest. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare and residential nursing care sectors, especially those with expertise in intermediate care services. Suitable candidates would ideally possess the capability to support services that provide stabilisation, assessment, and reablement to maximise patient independence, as detailed in the tender description. With the intent to engage separate providers for each of the four lots, businesses with capabilities to operate nursing care homes and set up multidisciplinary teams within specified locations can leverage this opportunity for growth. The estimated contract value is £14,000,000, highlighting a lucrative potential for service providers offering comprehensive nursing care solutions. ## Notice For the purpose of this model the term 'intermediate care' is used to describe services in the community that provide short term period of stabilisation, assessment, and reablement with the view to maximising a person's independence and, where possible, keep them at home. The Pathway 2 model is supported within a Nursing Home setting. Intermediate care services can either: a) provide support to people who are medically optimised following an acute episode of care: or b) provide support to people in the community who are in danger of needing an acute episode of care if an intermediate health or reablement intervention is not provided. This is referred to in this document as 'diversion', as it diverts people away from needing an acute hospital. ### Lot Information Lot 1 - Intermediate Care Pathway 2 For the purpose of this model the term 'intermediate care' is used to describe services in the community that provide short term period of stabilisation, assessment, and reablement with the view to maximising a person's independence and, where possible, keep them at home.
