Tender description
RVS provide support for Pathway 0 patients to enable safe discharge from hospital. They also prevent readmission and ensure future avoidance of admission. RVS provide practical support for up to 12 weeks using predominantly volunteers to deliver the service. An extension of the existing contract is required to support with Winter Pressures. The RVS service is seen as a critical contributing factor to the success of the D2RA project, with resource currently underutilised in the team and the potential to base RVS Co-ordinators within hospital discharge teams at the three hospitals in Liverpool. This extension would also allow us to look at a longer term commissioning plan for the service

About the buyer
Liverpool City Council procures as a local authority for the city of Liverpool, with its approach set out in a published Sustainable Procurement Strategy. Most tender opportunities are advertised on the Proactis ProContract portal, where suppliers register to bid. Higher-value contracts also appear on the Central Digital Platform's Find a Tender service under the Procurement Act 2023. Frameworks and approved procurement routes run through separate platforms alongside the main portal. Lower-value purchases are usually handled through a direct quotation rather than a full tender. Some health and social care commissioning instead follows the Provider Selection Regime.
UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).
Over the past 5 years, most of Liverpool City Council's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and software and information systems.
