There is currently no specialist provision of inpatient beds for people with a learning disability and/or autism within the Lancashire and South Cumbria footprint. People that require this specialised, inpatient support are placed in out of area services. It is a requirement of commissioners that the bed model is delivered in Lancashire and South Cumbria and in line with national guidance and to the national NHS service specification for such beds and for our area, the modelling suggests a requirement for 14 assessment and treatment and 10 rehabilitation places. ([england.nhs.uk](https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/model-service-spec-2017.pdf)). A recent bid for capital to support the model was unsuccessful therefore the commissioners are seeking to understand the market interest in both the provision of a service and estate. Commissioners will require an indication of cost and of mobilisation timeframes.
