About

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council is seeking feedback from providers to inform the future procurement of an Enhanced Assessment Beds Service that will provide 24-hour nursing care and agreed multidisciplinary team support for adults (18+) who are Sandwell residents awaiting Continuing Health Care assessment or long-term care. The service aims to reduce hospital delays, avoid unnecessary long-term care placements, improve independence outcomes, and offer a safe setting for short-term multidisciplinary assessment for people who are medically stable but not best served in an acute hospital or their usual home. A market engagement event will take place on Thursday 12 February 2026 from 10:00–11:00; organisations wishing to receive an MS Teams invitation should email [email protected] with full name, job title, organisation, email address and telephone number by 12:00 on Tuesday 10 February 2026.

Insight

This could be valuable for providers experienced in delivering 24-hour nursing and short-term multidisciplinary assessment beds, particularly those with pathways for hospital discharge and Continuing Health Care coordination. Key considerations include delivering continuous nursing cover, coordinating with CHC assessment processes and hospital discharge/avoidance pathways, and ensuring capacity to provide short-term assessment beds for Sandwell residents aged 18+.
