Market Engagement for Residential & Funded Nursing Care Services at Beachcroft Care Home

Westminster City Council (the Authority) requires service providers of residential and dementia care to support vulnerable adults who have been assessed as having eligible need that could be effectively supported in a care home setting and have a legal right to live in a care home of their choice under the Care and Support (Choice of Accommodation) Regulations 2014 No 2670 and any subsequent amendments.

As part of the second stage of our market engagement, service providers with experience of delivering these types of services are invited to complete a market engagement feedback form and are offered the opportunity to visit the care home.

The aim of the market engagement is:

• An opportunity for service providers to visit our flagship purpose-built 84 bed care home
• Explore the configuration of the home

To register your expression of interest and complete the questionnaire please kindly visit our e-tendering portal; www.capitalesourcing.com ↗ and search for the following reference: pqq_WCC_1723 by 09:00 on 22 November 2021.

Site visits are anticipated to be held on week commencing 22nd November 2021. The visits will be individual per service provider organisation lasting for a duration of up to 1 hour with a maximum of two attendees. Time slots for the visit will need to be arranged in advance of the visit via the e-tending portal by 15:00 on 17 November 2021. All visitors will need to be fully vaccinated, take a Lateral Flow Test on arrival and be able to present evidence of vaccination status before entering the property.
