The Contracting Authority would like to gather soft intelligence from the market in relation to the service and will be holding a Market Engagement Event online via Microsoft Teams and will also be publishing a Request for Information (RFI) Intermediate care, for the purpose of this service, provides short term nursing, assessment, rehabilitation, re-ablement and recovery care and health crisis support, delivered in partnership with local health and social care organisations, to support people to improve or regain independence, health and wellbeing. It provides an alternative to admissions into acute or long term care (step up) and to facilitate the transfer of care from hospital (step down), thus aiming to support people to return to their own homes as soon as possible and reduce the need for people to go back to hospital. There are two elements to the service, referred to as bed based support for this two year contract which are: - Rehabilitation The service provider will provide 14 short stay rehabilitation beds (up to 6 weeks) with 24 hour residential care to residents who are registered with a Darlington GP and whose condition does not require support within an acute hospital setting. There will also need to be the provision of a suitable space for therapy/rehabilitation services, including a gymnasium area and kitchen assessment area for patients and office space for therapy staff to utilise - Short stay nursing The service provider will also provide 9 short stay (up to 2 weeks) nursing beds, with 24 hour nursing care, to patients, registered with a Darlington GP, who: - are medically fit; - do not require acute hospital services; and - are not able to be safely discharged to their place of usual residence. A market engagement event will be held at 10.30am - 12noon on the 24 March 2021 and 2.30pm - 4pm on the 25 March 2021 via Microsoft Teams. Providers can choose to attend either one of the dates.
