Request for information - Oldham Care Homes 2024

Background

Oldham Council and NHS Greater Manchester ICB (Oldham Locality) are seeking to engage with the market to discuss the gaps within our Residential Care Home and Nursing provisions (for adults) and the prospective opportunities. The identified gaps include bariatric care, male-only units and additional nursing beds. This event aims to gather insights, foster collaboration, and explore opportunities for providing these services to Oldham residents with the aim of expanding the current offer available in the borough.
Market Engagement Event

As part of the commissioning process, we are holding a market engagement event in the coming weeks and would like to invite interested providers to attend.

The purpose of the event will be to engage with providers and discuss:
• Share updates on current and future needs for Residential Care Home services.
• Understand the capabilities and interests of Residential Care Home providers.
• Discuss potential partnership opportunities.
• Gather feedback to inform future commissioning strategies.
