The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a future notice date set for March 4, 2024. The title of the tender is "Potential Standalone Contracts within Nursing Homes (Aberdeen City)", focusing on services for individuals requiring specialist care services like Tracheostomy Care and Acquired Brain Injuries. The total value of the contract is £200,000 GBP. Businesses in the health and social care sector with expertise in complex care units would find this tender opportunity suitable for providing bespoke care services. This procurement opportunity presents a chance for businesses to engage with the Aberdeen Health and Social Care Partnership to offer specialist care services in nursing homes. The contract aims to address the lack of local specialist residential care for individuals with complex care needs, potentially requiring a more specialist skillset for care home staff. Interested businesses are invited to propose how they can provide these services, considering factors such as individual needs complexity, staffing schedules, ethical commissioning principles, and support from the health system. This tailored tender seeks to establish a standalone contract separate from the existing care provisions, benefiting individuals needing complex care services in Aberdeen City. ## Notice Aberdeen Health and Social Care Partnership are considering commissioning specialist care in nursing homes within Aberdeen City and would like to engage with the nursing home market to consider how this could be achieved. ### Lot Information Lot 1 There is a significant lack of local specialist residential care for all age groups that require the following specialist care services: Tracheostomy Care Acquired Brain Injuries Degenerative Neurogenetic disorders Challenging behaviours possible due to conditions listed above In a lot of cases individuals either remain as a delayed discharge in hospital or are placed outwith the Aberdeen City boundary, sometimes cross border which means that the most vulnerable of clients are taken away from their home city, removed from families and the personal cost to these individuals and their loved ones is severe. The partnership would like to know if there are any registered nursing homes that could provide a specialist, bespoke complex care unit/bed(s). Given the potentially higher cost of this type of provision this would be a bespoke standalone contract (in addition to the NCHC). This would obviously require a more specialist skillset for care home staff and a variation to the registration of the care home to allow for more complex care to be provided which should include individuals under 65. These would be permanent residents therefore can register as a permanent patient with the local GP practices.. If you are interested please send in a proposal on a word document via email explaining how this could be provided, please consider the complexity of individual's needs, no. of places, safer staffing schedules, CI registration, the 8 ethical commissioning principles, support required from health and not forgetting the potential weekly cost for the service per individual. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN496394 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 4 Mar 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £200,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ABERDEEN CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | ABERDEEN | | Post town | Aberdeen | | Postcode | AB16 5GB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM5 North Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM50 Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire | | Local authority | Aberdeen City | | Electoral ward | Midstocket/Rosemount | | Westminster constituency | Aberdeen North | | Delivery location | TLM50 Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 12 Jan 2024 at 00:00 - Planning - PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN496394 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN496394 Potential Standalone Contracts within Nursing Homes (Aberdeen City) - Aberdeen Health and Social Care Partnership are considering commissioning specialist care in nursing homes within Aberdeen City and would like to engage with the nursing home market to consider how this could be achieved. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000755163 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=755163 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
