This procurement was to provide supportive ongoing clinical care to those individuals who have been discharged from Acute settings.\nThe ICB's focus was to provide homes for people in the community rather than relying on out of area housing pathways once the individual's rehabilitation and treatment has been completed.\nThe Transforming Care programme aims to improve the lives of children, young people and adults with a learning disability and/or autism who display behaviours that challenge, including those with a mental health condition.\nThe programme has three key aims:\n• To improve quality of care for people with learning disability and/or autism\n• To improve quality of life for people with a learning disability and/or autism\n• To enhance community capacity, thereby reducing inappropriate hospital admissions and length of stay." } ], "value": { "amount": [ { "releaseID": "061498-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-10-01T17:17:22+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": 1 }, { "releaseID": "071350-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-11-05T15:48:24Z", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": 6119705 }, { "releaseID": "083047-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-12-15T16:36:34Z", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": 6119704 } ], "currency": [ { "releaseID": "061498-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-10-01T17:17:22+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "GBP" } ] }, "lots": [ { "id": "1", "description": [ { "releaseID": "061498-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-10-01T17:17:22+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "The ICB would like to invite any organisations who would be interested in delivering the Provision of Transferring Care into Nixon Street, to a virtual provider engagement meeting to discuss the requirements of the service, how providers can submit a tender and answer any questions that any potential providers may have.
