two.2.4) Description of the procurement
NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU on behalf of NHS Black Country Integrated Care Board is inviting suitably experienced and qualified providers to tender for the provision of a Community Offer and Intermediate Care Support Service.
It is well recognised that partnership working between the third sector, health and social care is crucial to provide improved care for people and communities. Within Sandwell our priority areas for this offer are supporting Sandwell residents to live well and thrive in their community, avoid and delay the need for statutory services and to support recovery following an acute or community admission. The service will require providers to collaborate to provide non regulatory services, supporting our health and social care professional teams by carrying out soft support tasks that do not require professional input. The scope of the service being tendered is outlined in the service specification.
The contract will be for an initial period of 2 years with the option to extend for a further 1 year at the discretion of the commissioner. The successful provider is expected to be fully operational for providing the service from 1st December 2024.
Interested providers can search for this opportunity by using reference C267776 "Community Offer and Intermediate Care Support" at the following address: https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome.
Providers are requested to submit their completed tender by 5.00pm on Friday 7th June 2024.
