The Services are intended to be delivered through a Framework Agreement, for up to three different Sites, to provide up to 160 beds in total, to support individuals with eligible nursing needs who require support within a nursing care home.
Site One has been identified as: Hillfield Nursing Care Home. Hillfield Lane, Stretton, Burton-on-Trent. Staffordshire. DE13 0BW. (Please refer to Specfication, Schedule 7 Site Plan) Site Two and Site Three have yet to be identified and are not guaranteed.
For each identified Site, a Contract will be called off the Framework Agreement through an order and a Lease for each Site will be entered into by the Council and the Provider.
The Services will increase the number of good quality affordable nursing home provision for Council supported Service Users.
Each Site identified will be intended for full capacity to be utilised for Council Funded Service Users. If there is not enough demand for the beds throughout the Contract Period from Council Funded Service Users, the Council reserves the right in agreement with the Provider to release beds to Self-Funders.
