Market Consultation - Discharge to Assess Pathway Beds

Portsmouth City Council (PCC) wishes to work with a small number of care homes to develop a Discharge to Assess (D2A) pathway out of hospital. It is expected that approx. 10 beds would be required within the city.

Our expectation is to have the beds spread across as few a number of homes as possible to enable most efficient use of the support services (Physio, OT, Nursing, Social Work) in managing the flow of people into and out of the beds.

A D2A (or Transition) Bed is used when people are ready to be discharged from hospital but are not ready to return to their former home or level of independence. They may require time, support, care and potentially therapies to enable them to be rehabilitated and reabled to move to being supported on a longer term basis.

Following this consultation process it is the Authority's intention to consider the appropriate route to market and conduct a full tender in order to select a supplier.
