Description

The Contracting Authorities wish to proceed with a procurement to establish a Level 2b neuro rehabilitation service with an inpatient service located at Brentwood Community Hospital and an out-reach service to support patients whose care needs cannot be met at Brentwood Community Hospital.

For the purposes of this procurement the service being sought is for Level 2b patients only. This procurement is not seeking a service for those patients requiring long-term complex disability management; or those with palliative or end-of-life care needs.

The procurement is seeking two specific services from the same provider: an outreach service and an inpatient service.

Outreach Service

The successful Bidder will offer an Essex Neurology Services Outreach Team as described in the service specification found within the Data Room on BRAVO who will accept referrals for adults (aged 18 or over) who have neurological impairments.

The service will provide specialist interdisciplinary rehabilitation for patients to achieve their functional goals, it will be typically focused around community reintegration and return to meaningful activity and life roles, including vocational rehabilitation.

Referrals will be considered for patients whose rehabilitation goals cannot be met by local commissioned services: i.e. where the rehabilitation goals are of a level of complexity or require a specialist neuropsychological rehabilitation approach that cannot be provided by other locally commissioned services.

Inpatient Service

The successful Bidder will offer inpatient services as described fully in the service specification.
The inpatient service must be delivered from Brentwood Community Hospital, Crescent Drive, Brentwood CM15 8DR where a 25 bed ward and associated facilities will be made available.

The inpatient service is expected to manage all but the most complex Level 2b patients.
