Summary of the contracting process

The contract for "Discharge to Assess and B&B - SUPPORT BY HEART LTD" has been awarded by the North East London NHS Foundation Trust. This procurement, under the category of hospital services, is classified as a service and takes place in Essex, United Kingdom.

It follows a limited procurement method due to the absence of competition for technical reasons, allowing the contract to be specified without the prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement process, completed on 4th July 2025, involves a budget of £1,200,000 and was finalised with SUPPLY BY HEART LTD as the single supplier.

The notice in full

Patients who are medically ready to leave the hospital can be discharged promptly, with their longer-term care and support needs assessed outside the hospital environment, typically in a temporary care setting. This approach helps streamline the discharge process, minimise unnecessary hospital stays, and optimise the use of hospital resources.

The Care Act 2014 and NHS guidance emphasise that social care assessments should not delay discharge. D2A fulfils these obligations.

The Benefits for patients are:

1. Enhances patient recovery in a more conducive environment.

2. Allows assessments to focus on real-world needs rather than hospital conditions.

3. Improves overall efficiency and cost-effectiveness of care delivery.
