Pathway 1 in Somerset is the Discharge to Assess (D2A) service and is the route for all supported discharges back to usual place of residence, excluding fast tracked End of Life. The Discharge to Assess model ensures no assessment for ongoing care happens in an acute hospital setting but happens in a person's usual place of residence instead. This enables speedy discharge and prevents the overprovision of long-term care. The ethos of the service is to provide high quality personalised reablement, to be outcome focused, and to enhance what the Individual can do themselves or with help from their support network.

"description": "This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made to the relevant authority by 26.11.2025. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award a contract under the competitive process of the PSR.\nAny written representations regarding the award of these contracts should be sent to: stephen.barker@somerset.gov.uk \nAward Decision makers:\nIona Brimson - Head of Service Older People and Intermediate Care - Commissioning\nJames Sangster - Service Manager (Older People Services)\nLynn Stephens - Head of Service, HIS, Intermediate Care and CHC\nTamsin Carey - D2A Manager/ Clinical Specialist Occupational Therapist \nKirsty Ash - Head of Urgent and Emergency Care Commissioning\nNo Conflicts of Interest were identified.\nRelative importance of Key Criteria:\nSocial Value 5% - although Somerset Council\u0027s standard is to allocate 10% to Social Value, it was felt in this case that more should be allocated to the other Key Criteria and so this was reduced\nValue Pass/ Fail - this was a pass/fail as Applicants were required to accept the proposed hourly rate in order to bid\nImproving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice 40% - this was seen as the most important Key Criteria for the service in question and therefore attracted the highest weighting\nQuality and innovation 30% - having a good quality service with the ability to develop/ innovate was also seen as very important and given the second highest weighting\nIntegration, collaboration and service sustainability 25% - also a key area and therefore only a slightly reduced weighting from Quality and innovation",
