Notice summaryFrom the published notice

The Home from Hospital service provides short-term home-based support to individuals being discharged home following a stay in hospital. This is a ‘non personal care’ service and does not require CQC registration and therefore the provision of this service is an opportunity for the care and voluntary and community sectors alike. In providing such support to the customer, Wiltshire’s care services are also supported by releasing care capacity to be used for personal care, with the ‘Home from Hospital’ service supporting the non-care elements.

What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Home from Hospital service provides short-term home-based support to individuals being discharged home following a stay in hospital. This is a ‘non personal care’ service and does not require CQC registration and therefore the provision of this service is an opportunity for the care and voluntary and community sectors alike.

It aims to support customers to regain their confidence and independence with a combination of both practical (hands on), emotional and social support, following the principle of a planned and phased reduction in support. In providing such support to the customer, Wiltshire’s care services are also supported by releasing care capacity to be used for personal care, with the ‘Home from Hospital’ service supporting the non-care elements.

Alongside this, the service also offers transport home from hospital, if no other alternative is available. The service is also expected to telephone pathway zero patients 48 hours post discharge to ensure that they do not have any outstanding needs. This element requires the signposting of people to appropriate services, both formal and informal. The service operates over 7 days for those aged 18 years and over.

Review and risk notes
Review procedure

FTS procedures include a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to bidders. This period allows unsuccessful bidders to seek further debriefing from the contracting authority before the contract is entered into. Such information should be requested from Wiltshire Council. If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought promptly.
