Summary of the contracting process

North East London NHS Foundation Trust has recently completed a procurement process titled "Discharge to Assess - Shelterfirst Residentials Ltd (Petal House)", focusing on hospital services within the UK region UKI52. This procurement falls under the services category and aims to streamline NHS discharge processes, allowing assessments to be conducted outside hospital environments.

The procurement method employed was limited, with no prior publication of a call for competition, due to technical reasons. Shelterfirst Residentials Ltd, an SME based in Dagenham, Essex, has been awarded the contract, valued at £1,200,000, with the contract signed on 1st July 2025.

The contract emphasizes efficiency and cost-effectiveness in care delivery, offering community-based recovery environments, which can lead to long-term partnerships with the NHS and potential expansion within the health services sector.

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.
