Tender description

The Council invites tenders for the provision of nursing care beds within the London Borough of Bromley or its immediate boundaries. The provision of care will be governed by the basic principles of privacy, dignity, independence, choice, rights and fulfilment. The tender is being run electronically through the London Tenders Portal and suppliers will need to register their company with the portal at www.londontenders.org to ensure they are able to access and submit the relevant documents online. Full tender documentation is accessible via the Portal and Applicants should complete only the Stage 1 Selection Documents at this stage. The Invitation to Tender and supporting documents should only be completed once an Applicant has been invited to submit a tender following assessment of the Stage 1 responses. Applicants will be informed if they are being invited or not being invited to submit a tender on or around July/August. The Council seeks to promote and provide a high quality, responsive and cost effective service for people who require care within a nursing home. The successful Contractor(s) will be governed by the fundamental principle that every service user has a right to safety, stability and consistency of service, and is required to maintain this commitment for the lifetime of each service user or for so long as the Home can continue to meet their care needs. The Council is looking to procure a total of 70 beds, 60 beds on a block booked basis and 10 further beds on a first refusal basis, with a number of suppliers.
