Escalation Care Services

Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust (the ‘Trust’) invite Providers to apply for the provision of a domiciliary Escalation Care service (ECS) in Torbay. ECS is a 7-days a week service to prevent delayed transfers of care from hospital setting, meet the increasing need in the community, and to avoid unnecessary admissions by providing rapid care and support which promotes independence and enables clients to live as independently as possible in their own homes with the right support. The Trust recognises that recruitment and retention is difficult in the current circumstance and therefore has divided its requirements up into the following three (3) lots: Lot 1 – 200 (block) hours per week, contract period = 1yr + 1yr + 1yr Lot 2 – 200 (block) hours per week, contract period = 6m + 6m + 6m Lot 3 – 150 (block) hours per week, contract period = 6m + 6m
