ASC0275 - Online Market Engagement Event - Discharge to Assess (D2A) Pathway Two Review

THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION

Leicester City Council (the Authority), on behalf of our local systems partners in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, is leading the commissioning review of the discharge to assess Pathway 2 arrangements for Leicester and Leicestershire to ensure that our performance as a system continues to deliver good outcomes for people discharged from an acute setting. Our long-term aim is to have a robust and coherent discharge to recover, then assess model in place that can deliver good outcomes for those requiring a period of bed-based reablement and recovery. This compliments the significant amount of work being done around Pathway 1 as part of our Home First offer.

Further to the Soft Market Testing recently undertaken by the Authority as part of the commissioning process, the commissioners of Discharge to Assess (D2A) Pathway Two Review are keen to hold an Online Market Engagement Event. The Online Market Engagement Event is anticipated to be particularly focused on the Pathway 2 model (which are also referred to as intermediate care services).

This is an opportunity for organisations interested in tendering for these services to work with commissioners to inform key elements of the model.

There are two similar events, each event will provide opportunities for organisations to discuss their thoughts around: • The model for P2 and the capacity we need for services and how other NHS and social care services will support the model we need for Leicester and Leicestershire • How we incorporate specialisms into the model to support people with more complex needs and how we achieve the right outcomes for people accessing services.

The engagement event will be held remotely through Microsoft Teams. The Online Market Engagement Events are being held on Friday 25 February 2022 commencing at 10.00 a.m. to 12 noon and on Monday 28 February 2022 commencing at 10.00 a.m. to 12 noon. Interested organisations should only attend one of these events. To reserve your place at one of these events, please complete and return the booking form attached to the advert in the Attachments: https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert/?advertId=f7b849cf-c779-ec11-8110-005056b64545 by no later than 14:00 hours on 22 February 2022 to the email address [email protected]

Participation or non-participation in the market engagement events will not prevent any provider from participating in any future procurement process, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of these discussions will place any provider at an advantage in a potential procurement process. The formal procurement process is anticipated to commence later in July 2022.

Contract value of £1,000,000 is estimated at this stage of the process and is subject to change.
