Summary: Surrey County Council, working jointly with NHS Surrey Continuing Healthcare, is procuring residential and nursing care home services for people aged over 65 in Surrey. The requirement covers two types of provision: short-term placements of up to four weeks after hospital discharge, with therapeutic support and assessment to help people recover, regain independence and return home; and blocks of residential or nursing beds for longer- or shorter-term adult social care placements. The block arrangements can cover different numbers of beds according to the council’s needs and providers’ capacity. The discharge service can also provide short-term community placements intended to prevent a hospital admission. The work falls within health and social care services.
