About

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council awarded a contract to Bupa Care Services for the provision of 16 to 18 step down step up beds with GP cover at a single location in Sandwell, delivering an intermediate care service for citizens aged 65 and over on a social care pathway.

The service aimed to ensure safe discharge from acute and non-acute NHS settings, provide short-term re-ablement programmes, prevent delayed transfers of care, and offer nursing for patients with dementia, with a maximum duration of six weeks per individual.

The contract commenced on 1 October 2017 for six months, with the potential to extend by a further 12 months, and was valued at AUD 800,000 on a block payment basis.
