Nursing Home Block Beds to Support Hospital Discharge in Worcestershire
Authority: Worcestershire County Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Government announced on the 9th January it was making £200 million available to the NHS to enable it to purchase extra beds in care homes and other settings to help discharge more patients to free up hospital beds. In Worcestershire, the NHS has requested that these extra beds are commissioned by the County Council on its behalf.The County Council is therefore looking to work with a small number of care homes who can mobilise rapidly to enable admissions of some individuals currently awaiting discharge home for short-term care in a care home.The NHS wishes to secure a total of 15 beds across two locations on a 'block bed' basis and expressions of interest are invited on this basis. It is anticipated that the block provision will end on the 31st March 2023.
