Tender description
Medway Council are reprocuring an Intermediate Care and Reablement Service. The service will include home-based intermediate care and reablement for Pathway 1 acute hospital discharges and Bed-based intermediate care and reablement for Pathway 2 acute hospital discharges as well as more complex care such as bariatric and non-weight bearing pathways, as one service. This is a change from the current service contract, which was procured in two separate lots, one for each pathway described above. In delivering these services, the Service Provider is required to be fully compliant with the Care Quality Commissions (CQC) guidance, policies and protocols and thereafter comply with all statutory requirements as detailed in this specification. Providers should note the expectation of the ICRS is to deliver a reablement service within a period average of 28 days or less for pathway 1 and 28-42 days or less for pathway 2.

About the buyer
Medway Council governs the Medway towns in Kent, and buys as a local authority with its own central procurement team. All contracting opportunities are advertised on the Kent Business Portal, where suppliers can search live tenders and set up email alerts. Suppliers must also register on the Central Digital Platform, a requirement since the Procurement Act 2023 took effect. Dynamic purchasing systems cover recurring needs such as SEND transport, supported living and agency staff recruitment. Premarket engagement with suppliers shapes tender requirements before contracts go live. The council also publishes its full contracts register on the same portal.
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 Medway Council's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and health and social work.
