Opportunity overview

We are pleased to announce that, following our initial activities for Somewhere Else to Assess (S2A), we will soon be ready to launch the tender. To support this, we will be hosting two market engagement events via Microsoft Teams. First session: Wednesday 23rd April 2025 from 10:00am to 11:00am. Second session: Thursday 24th April 2025 from 2:00pm to 3:00pm. The purpose of the event is to share the below information and register interest from prospective providers: 1. Overview of the proposed new S2A Service and Delivery Model 2. Procurement approach 3. Questions & answer session The S2A beds were first commissioned in 2019, and a review of the service has highlighted important admission requirements for future provision. The beds aim to support individuals who are in hospital and no longer require acute care but cannot be discharged home, as well as those living at home who need a safe place to stay while their care needs are assessed. The provision of these beds is a key element of our Health and Social Care vision to reduce unnecessary hospital admissions, support timely and safe hospital discharge, and enable individuals to return to their own homes or normal places of residence whenever possible. Please register your interest in attending the event by sending your name, contact email, the name of your organisation, and which date you would like to attend, through the Portal's messaging function. We will then circulate a Microsoft Teams calendar invite. We look forward to seeing you at the event.
