This procurement seeks to enter into additional block purchasing agreements that will offer additional and fixed capacity for Older Persons transitional and nursing care. By securing such capacity the Purchaser will be in a stronger position to be able to manage increasing demand within existing financial and market-based constraints.

The requirement is for a block of fifty (50) Transitional Care beds, twenty seven (27) of which are Nursing beds with the remaining twenty three (23) being residential care beds.
