two.2.4) Description of the procurement
NHS Devon is intending to award a contract for 10 Pathway 2 block booked beds for a 12 month contract at a cost of £1,000 per bed per week.
People leaving hospital in the Devon system under pathway 2 have a wide range of needs that require residential care. This includes the requirement for care provision to be able to support with complex manual handling (including hoist and stand aid transfer requiring the assistance of two people) and to support the needs of those who require the support of two staff overnight. It is also important that all daily living activities are taken with an enabling approach, to promote the person's independence and rehabilitation.
The specification includes:
• The focus is on people maintaining their independence with the aim that they will return home.
• That some people leaving hospital will initially require the support of two people to undertake daily living tasks.
• To take a person centred and enabling approach to care (with the support of the community Multidisciplinary teams)
• Ensure the person is involved in all decisions affecting their own life and daily living
• Rooms to be accessible and appropriate for providing an enabling approach.
• To be flexible and support system pressures, including acceptance of weekend admissions.
