The ICB expect the provision to be delivered in the community and this is likely to involve the successful organisation(s) acquiring an appropriate setting from which the care package can be delivered. Further detail can be found in the service specification which can be found attached to the CSU's e-tendering portal. The initial contract period is expected to be for 3 years with an option to extend, at the sole discretion of the ICB, for a further 2 years.

The ICB are advertising this opportunity via a Prior Information Notice (PIN) as a call for competition and interested parties are required to register their interest in writing. The form in which expressions of interest must be submitted in writing is outlined in the relevant documentation found on the CSU's e-tendering portal. Full details of the intended process, along with an anonymised service specification can be found attached to the CSU's e-tendering portal. A market engagement regarding this requirement was held in mid-May. For the avoidance of doubt, no further notice shall be issued with regard to this requirement.

The ICB anticipates the overall cost of the contract expected to be in the region of £1,292/bed/day (£471,744/annum). Perspective bidders should note that these numbers are purely indicative and should refer to section 1.5 of the explanatory notes included with the tender documentation for further information.
