## Summary

NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board is procuring community health services providing intermediate care beds in Pocklington, within a care home managed by Pocklington Group Practice. The service is designed for step-up and step-down care, including assessment of future care and support needs, recovery from illness, reablement and rehabilitation. It should help people regain independence, confidence with mobility and self-care, and access nursing intervention, medical care and review where required. The service aims to support care closer to home and complements the Pocklington Integrated Care Hub. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction. The named supplier, Paragon Healthcare York Limited, is based in Pocklington and is classified as an SME.

The process uses the Provider Selection Regime and a direct award without prior publication of a competition, under direct award process C. An intention to award was approved to Paragon Healthcare York Limited, with the award recorded as active, although the notice states that formal award remains subject to the standstill process. Representations were due by 23:59 on 26 August 2026. The contract was signed on 25 July 2026, for £135,000 including the stated contract value, covering 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The contract is recorded as active. The related lot is recorded as cancelled. The published evaluation basis was that the existing provider satisfies its current contract and is likely to meet the proposed contract to a sufficient standard; one bid was recorded.

This opportunity indicates established local demand for intermediate care bed provision supporting assessment, recovery, reablement and rehabilitation in Pocklington. A credible future provider would need to operate or secure suitable care-home bed capacity and deliver safe, person-centred care for people who need support during ill-health while remaining as independent as possible. Relevant capability includes nursing intervention, medical review, therapeutic input, mobility support and assistance with self-care. Providers should also be able to work closely with the Pocklington Integrated Care Hub and the wider health and care system, demonstrate measurable quality and patient outcomes, and adapt services where needed. Strong integration, collaboration, access and health-inequality practice would matter, alongside social, economic and environmental value and cost-effective use of beds.
