F13394_ITQ2 Home from Hospital Service

Tender description

Further to the Invitation to Quote process halted on 20 March 2020, in response to Covid-19 pressures, North East Hampshire & Farnham CCG and Surrey Heath CCG are now republishing this requirement. The participating CCGs are working in collaboration to commission a single Home from Hospital service across both CCG footprints. The overall aim of the Home from Hospital service is to provide a responsive and time-limited service to individuals who are medically fit for discharge from acute hospital or community unit, through providing and signposting onto, advice, information and person centred support for these individuals and their carers to safely resettle at home, and to live healthy and independent lives. The Service provider(s) will link individuals with appropriate interventions (e.g. volunteers and community groups) that can facilitate support and connections for an individual and or their carer to settle back at home and restore "normal" daily functioning. It will allow people to regain their confidence after a period in hospital or after a short stay in the emergency department in a way that will promote their independence and reduce the likelihood of hospital readmission or Long Term Care - there will be prompt access which enables timely discharge. Bids from single providers, legally established consortia and/or partnerships are welcome; partnerships should note they must select a lead partner to become the legal entity on the contract. NB: This is a 2 year contract, with one extension option of 12 months.
