Description

West Sussex County Council is procuring a Hospital Discharge Care (Home First) Service.

Health and Social Care in West Sussex has jointly developed and implemented services to support individuals who are medically ready for discharge from hospital and who are ready to return to their own home but have continuing health and/or social care needs. This is called Home First and enables people to return home and receive support whilst an assessment is completed, short term care and or treatment is provided, and on-going or long-term support needs are considered.

Under these contracts WSCC is seeking to commission Hospital Discharge Care services which will provide care and support within a person's own home as part of the Home First offer. These services will be referred to and directed by SCFT as the Home First lead Provider and will deliver alongside health services as part of a multi-agency approach to support identified individuals to be discharged from hospital. Some customers will only require care from the Hospital Discharge Care Services whilst others will also receive other services from SCFT.

The services will be provided to Services Users who are referred by Sussex Community (NHS) Foundation Trust (SCFT) and West Sussex County Council (WSCC).

The tender is split into four (4) separate Lots are spilt based on geographical area. The areas included within each Service are detailed below:
o North,
o Coastal South,
o Coastal West, and
o Central

The geographical Lots will ensure equitable service provision across West Sussex. There will be a focus on the way services are made available and delivered in 'Neighbourhoods' as the Integrated Care System reviews the intermediate care arrangements in West Sussex, and as a result the Lot Service Areas will be regularly reviewed to ensure this continues to align with the NHS plans to deliver service provision.

Full details of the services required and information about the four (4) Lot areas can be found at Document 02 the Service Specification. This includes a substantive list of all the aims, outcomes, and requirements that will make up the provision of these services.

Semi-Independent Supported Housing for Homeless People

The Council wishes to procure units of semi-independent supported housing for homeless people, aged 18+ For some homeless people, a hostel is not the optimal setting in which to develop independent living skills. A protracted stay in a hostel, particularly as independence develop and grows, can be counter-productive for some vulnerable people. Similarly, a hostel may not always be the appropriate environment for those residents that have fewer, or less complex presenting issues, or those that already have some degree of independent living skills, as the time spent by staff providing support can often be monopolised by those residents that present with chaotic behaviours. It is expected that the target Service User profile for this service will have fewer or less complex support needs than their peers in other homeless services. This is not to say that the target service user profile will not present with any support needs, but rather it is intended that this service will be aimed at those that may have already spent time in more intensive supported housing but who no longer require that level of support; or that they may have previously held a tenancy. The service will be expected to deliver housing-related support that is designed to maximise a person's ability to live independently and will cover aspects such as Physical/Mental Health, Finance & Budgeting, Employment, Training or Education etc. The Council is seeking bids that propose the use of dispersed single-occupancy accommodation, rather than group living. The opportunity is lotted as follows Lot 1 - 14 Units of Semi-Independent Supported Housing for Homeless People Lot 2 - 50 Units of Semi-Independent Supported Housing for Homeless People Tenderers may respond to one or both Lots
