Warwickshire Care Home Pathway 2 Residential Short Stay Bed Block Contracts

This was a retender of WCC Care Home Pathway 2 Residential Short Stay Bed Block Contracts (OCID ocds-h6vhtk-05496e/ Ref' WAR-0053) which has been terminated.

Warwickshire County Council is seeking bids for care home block contracts for Pathway 2 Residential Short Stay Bed block contracts, commissioned for patients whose discharge from hospital is being led by Adult Social Care (currently short stay social care assessments beds and moving on beds).

Pathway 2 Residential Short Stay Beds provide short-term residential care for people who are medically optimised for discharge from hospital but are unable to return home, therefore requiring a short stay in a care home setting to support their recovery and time for assessment for future needs. People will stay in the service until their assessment and ongoing arrangements have been determined.

Moving On Beds: are for people that are medically fit for discharge and can return home but require further support and time before this can take place. People that use a MOB typically return home once environmental or social issues are resolved and have an average length of stay of 6 weeks.

D2A Short Stay Beds: are for people that are medically fit for discharge whose needs have increased since their admission to hospital meaning they are unable to return to their normal place of residence. They require assessment and time to recover to understand their future requirements, whether this is to return home or to go into long term care.

People that use a D2A Short Stay Bed have an average length of stay of 4 weeks. The Council is seeking to award approximately 52 D2A short stay beds and 8 Moving on beds across three Place areas in Warwickshire, these being North Warwickshire, Rugby and South Warwickshire.
