Medway Intermediate Care and Reablement Services

Descriptions

Medway Council and Medway CCG are looking for a lead provider who can work with us over a 5 year period to deliver our commissioning model to implement the Medway Intermediate Care and Reablement Strategy.This model is described within the Memorandum of Information on the medway Portal and was covered anddiscussed in a fuller manner at our market engagement event on 26 November 2015. Working with other Providers in Medway the lead provider will oversee the whole range of services, perhaps sub-contracting for some of these services. The lead provider will work with commissioners and a provider consortium to ensure the most appropriate care is in the right place at the right time for all patients and serviceusers in Medway who need intermediate care services. Over time we want to see a shift in the pattern of services in Medway so that more people are supported in their own homes and less in beds. The services to be provided will be safe, effective, personalised and fair services to patients and service userswith health and social care needs that require a range of Intermediate Care services in order to be supported toremain in their own homes. To date these are bedded and non- bedded services commissioned separately byHealth and Social Care. We are interested ion developing a more flexible service so that care can be deployedto the most appropriate environment which will include peoples' homes, nursing or residential homes. Thiswill now be a joint service provided as part of the Medway Better Care arrangements and the funding is partof a pooled budget between the Council and the Medway CCG. The service will be provided in accordance with the statutory responsibilities of the Council and CCG and will be managed as part of the sections 75 partnership agreement between the Council and CCG. The anticipated budget is £3.75 Million - £4.6 Million/annum but will be confirmed as part of the tender process. This includes spending on 61 beds. We are also considering a proposed new reablement service. The contract value range stated is based on the projected £3.75 Million - £4 Million per annum reflecting the minimum 5 year initial term. Estimated value excluding VAT: Range: between 18750000 and 23000000 GBP
