Tagged under the industry category of social work and related services, the contract is located in the UKD33 region, specifically Manchester, United Kingdom. The procurement process followed an open procedure and has progressed to the award stage, with the contract awarded on 3rd October 2025.
The contract commences on 1st January 2026 and extends over three years, with a potential extension of two years, subject to satisfactory performance. The gross contract value amounts to £2,575,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare and social services, particularly those with a focus on elderly care and hospital discharge processes.
Companies operating as SMEs or larger enterprises with the capability to provide comprehensive support services for the elderly are well-suited to compete for such contracts. The services aim to improve patient flow out of hospitals, address home safety, and increase well-being through community connections, creating avenues for companies to innovate and expand their service offerings in the community-care sector. The open procurement method allows various businesses an equal opportunity to participate and contribute to the enhancement of public health services.
This specification is for the provision of a citywide older people's (60+) hospital discharge support service with follow on support at home to prevent readmission to hospital and care/support needs from increasing post-discharge. This contract will operate for three years, plus the possibility of extension by two years subject to satisfactory delivery of the expected outcomes. The service is expected to:
- improve the flow of older patients out of hospital
- address safety concerns at home and other barriers that prevent timely discharge
- ensure that essentials such as food and working utilities (by providing meter top ups, or providing information/referral to services that can resolve any issues) are in place when returning home
- improve well-being and confidence by connecting older people discharged from hospital with other services and community resources, and
- support or signpost to maximise income All of which will support to reduce the risk of readmission and the need for additional health and social care services further down the line.
The contract start date is 1st January 2026 for 3 years with an option to extend for 2 years.
