Site One has been identified as: Hillfield Nursing Care Home. Hillfield Lane, Stretton, Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire, DE13 0BW. This site is currently undergoing the process of being refurbished by the Council. Site Two and Site Three have yet to be identified and are not guaranteed, these may be traditional or modular builds. The number/split of beds per site is yet unknown and will be confirmed when the supplier is asked to submit a proposal under the framework agreement. For these sites the Council is exploring how the build and design can maximise the use of technology to ensure efficient use of the supplier’s workforce and staffing model for the care delivery.

The supplier must have the ability to deliver a 100 % nursing model at each Site, plus the ability to support, in exceptional circumstances, individuals with residential only needs. The supplier will ensure that both general nursing placements and dementia nursing placements are provided at all of the sites.
