two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The service being commissioned is to provide facilities, equipment and care for 24 'Intermediate Care' patients, who are registered with General Practitioners in the Torbay area.
The provider will effectively act as a strategic partner in providing a larger number of places in a single facility. The contract is for 7 years. The value of the contract is a best estimate and may be subject to inflationary uplift on an annual basis.
It is a change of the usual model of 'Intermediate Care' provision, of hiring individual beds from providers spread over the Torbay area.
The gains or efficiencies that a single facility provides will be:
• Reduced time of staff spent travelling of 25%
• Reduced travel expenditure
• Reduced treatment time for patients
• Appropriate on-site facilities for multidisciplinary treatment
• A sizeable facility for the Trust to allow the discharge from hospital of patients that are well enough to be discharged, but may have other healthcare needs. Which will reduce 'bed-blocking' in the acute area(s) of the Trust and also help with 'Winter Pressures'. Thereby saving cost for the Trust and maintaining the acute facility for the rest of the community.
