311 - Home Safe - Simple Discharge

This is a 'Light Touch' procurement procedure to identify a provider to deliver a 'Home Safe - Simple Discharge' service. The provider will develop a sustainable offer that aims to build capacity to support the health and social care system and will provide a safe and positive discharge for patients to go back to their home or other community setting as appropriate.

The provider will ensure transport is provided, with companionship and reassurance, and offer low level practical support and social connections where needed following discharge.

The provider will identify and coordinate a group of staff and volunteers who will be discharge buddies for individuals who are identified by RAEI (or other settings to be agreed,) who would benefit from support to get home safely.
