## Description

Hampshire County Council are seeing providers to provide extra Rapid Discharge Service \(RDS\) capacity in Lots 4 and 5\. This is a short-term reablement and domiciliary service offering timely discharge of individuals who may have an eligible Care Act need\. These individuals may need support with discharge from a Hospital setting to their own home or may require support to prevent the need for a hospital admission, thereby supporting flow and effective management within the wider system\. The service may be used whilst a long-term package of care is being sourced via brokerage, to bridge a package of care until the existing provider has capacity to restart the package following a hospital admission, to provide an assessment period to enable a full Care Act assessment or to prevent a hospital admission\. Individuals discharged into this service may be Covid-19 positive and there is an expectation that the service provider will accept these individuals into this service\.
