The contracts for the beds will be for a period of 3 years with an option to extend for up to a further 2 years.The total number of beds being sought via this tender is 37. A minimum of two contracts will be awarded. The maximum number of beds in any one contract will be 19 (nineteen). No provider will be awarded more than one contract. Contracts will be divided into two lots: Lot 1 - General nursing care beds Lot 2 - Nursing with dementia care beds Bidders are invited to bid for one (Lot 1 or Lot 2) or both lots. Contracts may be combined and derived from Lot 1 and Lot 2 bids where bidders have bid for both lots
