This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
The reason for urgency in this instance is that a contract is required urgently for the provision of designated care beds capable of accepting the discharge from hospital of patients being discharged to care home accommodation with a positive test for Covid-19. Delays in discharge place increased pressure on hospitals at a time when they are seeking to deal with increased numbers of patients with Covid-19 alongside the usual winter pressures.
