In plain English

Walsall Council wants a provider to deliver reablement services helping adults regain independence after hospital discharge or declining health, covering both ICS Pathway 1 (hospital-linked, therapy-led support) and Community Reablement (preventative support in the community) across the Borough. The contract runs for five years from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2032, with an estimated value of £65,000,000 that may vary as it's a cost and volume contract based on client need.

Good fit for: Established health and social care providers experienced in home care, reablement or domiciliary care services at scale.

The catch (with the notice's own words):
  • Very high contract value for a single lot Estimated value: £65,000,000
  • Payment varies with demand, not fixed This is a cost and volume contract therefore the value of the total contract value may change, dependant on client need.

Pathway 1 Social provides short-term interim support for individuals who do not require Reablement, have reached their Reablement potential, or are awaiting longer-term care arrangements or other appropriate services.
