Tender description

A number of contracts for pre-purchased beds within care homes in Shropshire are due to expire during 2017. The Council wishes to retain the current volume of pre-purchased beds, hence is inviting tenders from care homes based in, or within approximately 15 miles of, Shrewsbury who are able to offer beds for nursing and/or nursing with dementia care. The contracts for the beds will be for a period of 3 years with an option to extend for up to a further 2 years. The total number of beds being sought via this tender is 37. A minimum of 2 contracts will be awarded. The maximum number of beds in any one contract will be 19 (nineteen). No provider will be awarded more than 1 contract. Contracts will be divided into 2 lots: Lot 1 — General nursing care beds; Lot 2 — Nursing with dementia care beds. Bidders are invited to bid for one (Lot 1 or Lot 2) or both lots. Contracts may be combined and derived from Lot 1 and Lot 2 bids where bidders have bid for both lots. Lot 1 — General Nursing Care Beds. Lot 2 — Nursing with Dementia Care Beds.
