## About this tender

### Details of Services in scope

Community Reablement Service:

A Community Reablement Service Provider will offer a countywide service and will receive referrals and provide reablement support within a customer's home within 24 hours of acceptance. Those suitable for reablement will be from both the hospital discharge and community referral pathways. The customer will have a reablement plan that is asset-based and outcome-focused, to be implemented by the service provider with a move away from "time and task" activity.

The reablement package will be time limited (up to 6 weeks) and will:

- Right-Size the package of care and, throughout the reablement period, reduce the package of care as the customer develops their resilience.
- Provide reablement-focused support to promote independence, significantly reducing the support package and reabling the customer so they no longer need care and support to live at home.

A Community Reablement Service Provider may also have to provide domiciliary care for people who have some ongoing care needs at the end of their reablement period whilst a suitable package of care is sourced from the WSCC Domiciliary Care Framework.

### Aims

The aim of the attached Market Engagement Questionnaire is to support the re-commissioning of the Community Reablement Service that supports a WSCC and NHS jointly agreed vision and model for intermediate care services, seeking to improve how services are arranged and delivered operationally to provide the most effective service and the best use of combined assets.

The findings of this exercise will further inform our thinking around the opportunities for commissioning and procurement of the service. Any information provided will be treated as 'Commercial-in-Confidence' and will be considered by local authority commissioners in such a way as to ensure that it is non-attributable to any particular provider. Opportunities for group based or individual organisation discussion with Providers who respond may follow this exercise.

Please can you respond to the questions listed below by latest, 12pm (noon) on Wednesday the 5th of June 2024. Please submit your completed document via email to  including "Soft Market Testing" in the subject line.
