AC2426 Home from Hospital Service
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Wiltshire Council is in the planning stage of procuring a contract for the Home from Hospital Service, aimed at providing short-term support to residents being discharged from hospital in Wiltshire, United Kingdom. The tender process, identified under the title "AC2426 Home from Hospital Service," falls under the Health and Social Work Services category. A market engagement event is scheduled via Microsoft Teams on 13th April 2026, from 10:30 am to 11:20 am, for prospective providers to discuss service delivery models and obtain more insights about the contract, which is expected to start on 1st July 2027 and run for three years with possible renewals.
Interested parties must register by 9th April 2026. The procurement approach includes a market engagement notice published on 30th March 2026, highlighting key dates for future notices and involvement. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly SMEs and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), to expand into health-related support services.
With a significant budget of £1,945,000 allocated over the contract period, it offers a valuable chance for enterprises specialising in rehabilitation and support services to provide critical transitional care for hospital discharge patients. The contracting process underscores a "light touch" approach, highlighting suitability for small to medium enterprises interested in delivering local and impactful health services. Engaging in the market event and becoming acquainted with the indicative timeline will allow businesses to strategically position themselves for competing in the procurement process.
The Home from Hospital service provides short-term practical and emotional support (excluding personal care) for up to six weeks, seven days a week, for Wiltshire residents aged 18+ who are being discharged from hospital. The service supports a safe and smooth transition home, helping people regain confidence and independence and reducing the risk of readmission. It supports discharges on Pathway Zero (returning home independently with no further support) and Pathway One (returning home with homecare), with support gradually tapered as recovery progresses to help avoid long-term support wherever possible.
The new contract is scheduled to commence on 1 July 2027.
