This opportunity falls under the services category and is currently at the planning stage, with an expression of interest deadline on 12th September 2022. Interested parties can find more details on the official procurement notice. This tender provides a chance for care home providers to offer their services to East Lothian Council and potentially secure a contract lasting two years with the option for extension. Businesses with Care Inspectorate Grades of at least 3 would be well-suited to compete, as the contract award will consider both quality and price aspects. To participate, interested parties can submit their expressions of interest by the specified deadline and attend the online provider event scheduled for the week of 29th August 2022. ## Notice East Lothian Council, on behalf of East Lothian Health and Social Care Partnership, has a requirement for two residential respite beds in a care home(s) within in the East Lothian Council area (preference is for nursing level care but ELHSCP may consider residential level), which will provide episodes of registered care and support on a planned and rolling basis - thus relieving the main carer(s) of their caring responsibilities for a period of time and so providing them with the opportunity for a respite break also known as a short break. ### Lot Information Lot 1 East Lothian Council is seeking offers in relation to 2 beds for planned residential respite care within East Lothian.
