## About this tender

At East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust (ESNEFT) we provide hospital and community health care services for Colchester, Ipswich and local areas. Formed on 1 July 2018, ESNEFT is the largest NHS organisation in the region.

We provide services from Colchester and Ipswich hospitals, Aldeburgh, Clacton, Halstead, Harwich and Felixstowe community hospitals and Bluebird Lodge near Ipswich. We also provide community services in Suffolk and North Essex (via an Alliance partnership arrangement)

ESNEFT as part of the East Suffolk Alliance and are seeking to commission up to 10 x beds within the Eye and surrounding areas, Suffolk, under the community services contract. The contract with the incumbent commissioned beds provider will terminate on 31st December 2021.

The beds currently commissioned have a reablement focus and are used as a short-term option (up to 6 weeks) to help people recover from acute episodes of care. We are seeking to commission beds on a similar basis within a 10 mile radius of Hartismere Hospital, Eye, Suffolk. The provider must have CQC registration that covers the requirements within a defined specification (enclosed), this includes catering for people who may have nursing needs. The East alliance have implemented Discharge to Assess (D2A), a process to effect timely discharge from acute care and provide reablement for patients in order to optimise their level of independence, enabling them to return to their usual residence wherever possible.

ESNEFT is inviting suitably qualified organisations to submit an Expression of Interest in providing beds commissioned of this nature. We wish to enter into discussions with regard to our future needs and requirements, alongside other Trust activities which support providing care into the local community of Eye and the surrounding areas. Subject to successful conversations, the Trust may progress to the award of a contract which meets the desired quality and commercial outcomes to deliver the service.

Responders are asked to demonstrate their CQC credentials and appropriate information demonstrating the performance of existing contracts which fulfil a similar requirement alongside their Expression of Interest to the following email address:-
