What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Lincolnshire Health and Care System is working to embed a home first culture and

approach to discharge and patient flow. There is a recognition that hospital acquired

functional decline results in less than optimal outcomes and people should be afforded the

opportunity to return directly home from hospital for longer term needs to be identified and

assessed in a more familiar setting.

Active Recovery Beds describe a pathway for a facility where people are ready to be

discharged from hospital but are not ready to return to their former home or level of

independence. They may require time, support, care and potentially therapies to enable

them to be re-abled to return home.

The Council wishes to commission a total of 40 Active Recovery Beds (July to December

2023) and 60 Active Recovery Beds (January to March 2024) in registered residential care

homes across the county. There will be between 10 and 20 Active Recovery Beds in each of

the three distinct geographic areas covering the East, South and West of Lincolnshire.

It is expected that the Council will contract with more than one Provider to meet the volume

requirement of Active Recovery Beds. Each care home will provide a minimum of 10 beds to

be used solely for the Active Recovery Bed service.

Lot #1The Active Recovery Beds will support a person's transfer to the most appropriate setting 9 moPublished value£1,728,200

The Active Recovery Beds will support a person's transfer to the most appropriate setting

and will include an element of reablement that cannot be provided in a person’s own home

for a short period of time. The core principle of the service is to maximise independence and

enable the person to resume living at home safely in a time efficient manner and where

possible with a reduced package of care.

The service is not for all hospital discharges. The focus of the service is to support those with

complex needs requiring an integrated response, wand who can improve to enable them to

live at home independently with a reduced package of statutory care.

The service will also be accessible to those in the community where a short period of stay in a

bed based reablement setting would prevent an unnecessary hospital admission. This means

the service being accessible to community services such as the Falls Response Service and

EMAS.

Costs will be fixed at £929.14 per bed per week for the duration of the contract. This costreflects the complexity of the service.

Each Provider will provide a minimum of 10 beds to be used solely for the Active Recovery

Bed service.

The duration of any contracts resulting from this procurement will commence 1st July 2023

for a maximum period of 9 months to 31st March 2024. There are no options to extend this

contract. Additional information: Please see tender documents published on Procontract

Shortlisting: The Council requires that all Providers are registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and that care does not fall below the standards defined by the CQC’s Fundamental Standards in the HSCA 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. The Active Recovery Beds service requires 24/7 accommodation within a registered nursing home or residential care home. Each care or nursing home will provide a minimum of 10 beds to be used solely for the Active Recovery Bed service. The beds will need to be co-located in a single unit on the same floor, or within their own wing. Ideally the beds will be located on the ground floor, where this is not possible beds must be fully accessible. However, if there are insufficient bids to meet the conditions, the Council reserves the right to award contracts for fewer beds to any one care home and to award contracts to beds located on different floors/not adjacent. The accommodation must support the re-ablement activity as outlined in the individuals care plan. For example, an accessible kitchen area and laundry room. All rooms used for this Service must be large enough in size to enable care and support to be given safely and effectively by a minimum of two staff members, and any required equipment such as a hoist. The Provider is expected to have sufficient staff members available to support each Active Recovery Bed and meet the needs of each individuals care plan and identified goals. The Provider will be expected to comply with the terms and conditions of the Council’s existing residential framework contract: https://professionals.lincolnshire.gov.uk/downloads/file/2148/residential-framework-agreement-2022
