Suppliers are also required to have flexibility to take up additional service users when required and their price submission should include block contract and spot purchase price. Because this is the GP contract, and considering the fact that Walsall’s multi-disciplinary team only cover homes in Walsall, the council will only accept bids from homes based in the borough of Walsall. The transitional beds will form one of a number of pathways that health and social care staff will use to promote the health, wellbeing and independence of older people with complex needs; to prevent unnecessary hospital admissions and delayed hospital discharges.
