## About this tender

Wokingham Borough Council is currently reviewing its plans for Winter 22/23 and is considering setting up block contracts for Care Home beds to facilitate the timely discharge from hospital of Wokingham residents who are medically optimised and/or fit.

Subject to funding being agreed nationally, the Council is considering awarding 2-3 contracts to care homes each with up to 3-4 beds available until the mid/end of May 2023.

The requirements are expected to be:

â&#128;¢ a minimum of 3 beds and a maximum of 4 in any one home

â&#128;¢ bed price up to a maximum of Â£1,000 per week (excl FNC). Bids will be evaluated on 80% price and 20% quality

â&#128;¢ beds available from 5th December 2022

â&#128;¢ geographically located within 10 miles of RG40 1BN

â&#128;¢ a mixture of General Nursing and Nursing Dementia beds

â&#128;¢ any people in the block beds at the end of the contract would remain in the home and transfer to a long term spot contract at the same rate, subject to inflation

â&#128;¢ possible admissions at short notice and over weekends without a full care assessment

We welcome all expressions of interest from providers who have the capacity to offer a block of beds. Please complete the "Supplier Assessment Form" attached to this notice and return it to us through the Procontract messaging system by the deadline of 25th November 2022. Any questions should also be submitted via this system.

The Council will need to act swiftly to commission these beds in a fair and transparent way in line with procurement regulations.
