Description

Westminster City Council (the "Authority") will be embarking on the recommissioning of a Residential & Funded Nursing Care Service within Beachcroft Care Home. This follows an open tender exercise earlier this year where the Authority did not award a contract. Previous market engagement has been undertaken where the Authority hosted a virtual market engagement event providing an opportunity to discuss and seek feedback from interested service providers on the service model and how these services can be delivered in the future. This market engagement will be: • An opportunity for service providers to visit our flagship purpose-built 84 bed care home • Explore the configuration of the home

As part of the second stage of our market engagement, service providers with experience of delivering these types of services are invited to complete a market engagement feedback form and are offered the opportunity to visit the care home.
