Any such contract will be for the duration of the Covid-19 emergency. Any contract term will be agreed with providers. We are working with the health service to ensure as many medically fit people in hospital are discharged promptly to free up as much hospital capacity as we can to ensure beds are available for those that need them most. These beds will be primarily used for Discharge to Assess but may be used in any other capacity including long term care. Care may also be required in the home setting for lower needs persons. ### What we need The Council is particularly interested in identifying care home capacity from existing capability that wishes to enter into a block contract for the term of the emergency period. This may come from current capacity, capacity for that is close to completion or capacity that is currently not in use. This may be with or without staffing provision. The Council is also interested in understanding other capacity that may be brought into use with rapid adaptions such as hotels, student accommodation, shared accommodation and private healthcare settings. The Council further is interested in contracting for additional care at home capacity for the same duration.
