PRJ- 660 Pre-procurement Market Engagemnt Event - Lewisham Community Rehabiliation Beds

Tender description

The purpose of this event is to give potential bidders an overview of the Lewisham Community Bed Based Rehabilitation Service Specification and allow potential bidders the opportunity to ask questions about the specification. It is also to advise potential bidders of the procurement process and the anticipated timeline, as well as other relevant considerations. Following a stay in hospital sometimes people (even after being assessed as medically fit) still require care to help with rehabilitation before they are able to return home safely and confidently. Bed-based intermediate care addresses those instances when a person’s level of need means they require intermediate care in a setting other than their own home. In Lewisham bed-based intermediate care is a time limited episode of care (of up to 6 weeks), commissioned by the CCG and supported by the Local Authority. It is provided as a dedicated service within a standalone intermediate care facility. Patients are referred to bed-based intermediate care either as a ‘step up’ from home for assessment and rehabilitation – as an alternative to hospital admission – or as a ‘step down’ from the acute hospital for a period of assessment and/or rehabilitation before they return home. Please Note : the Event has been moved to Wednesday 8th August 2018 from 10am to 12pm Keywords: Community, Rehabilitation, Market, Beds, Engagement
