two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The provision of Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation services to commence
January 2025, for the period of 12 weeks until the end of March 2025.
The service will need to provide both clinical and corporate service support and
oversight including appropriate skilled and trained workforce to deliver 24/7 Nursing
care, intensive Stroke Therapy (7 days a week) and medical cover (Monday – Friday).
The provision needs to be for a minimum of 11 inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation beds
with an expected average length of stay of 4 weeks (+/- 2 weeks). The facility will need
to be well equipped to meet the needs of patients requiring Stroke rehabilitation
including access to gym and facilities which support rehabilitation of activities of daily
living.
It is expected that the people will have access to the full range of specialist Stroke
rehabilitation including:
• Physiotherapy
• Occupational Therapy
• Speech and Language Therapy
• Dietetics
• Psychology
The service should operate in line with National clinical guidelines recommendations
offering people to participate in at least 45 minutes of each appropriate therapy every
day, at a frequency that enables them to meet their rehabilitation goals, and for as long
as they are willing and capable of participating and showing measurable benefit from
treatment.
DGFT Consultants will be willing to maintain specialist clinical oversight if the service
falls outside of borough but would require access to necessary IT systems.
The provider must have the facility to input into the Sentinel Stroke National Audit
Programme (SSNAP) and ensure all data is shared with the Trust on a regular basis.
The following performance measures will be implemented to ensure the service
outlined is delivered:
• Average length of stay with Criteria to Reside (CTR)

• Quarterly review meetings between key stakeholders.
