The 2023 National Audit of Inpatient Falls (NAIF) report on 2022 clinical data identified that more than 60,000 people sustained a femoral fracture in England and Wales in 2022 (NHFD) due to a fall. Of these, 2,033 occurred in inpatient settings. Falls prevention services aim to reduce people's chance of falling by tackling risk factors, improving strength and balance whilst allowing people to remain well and live independently at home. The services aim to: • Provide falls support planning and risk assessments for individuals and their homes, • Develop person centred plans to maximise older people's potential for independent living, • Reduce the risks of falls and injuries by improving strength and balance, • Reduce hospital admissions as a result of falls, • Educate and raise falls prevention awareness with multi-organisations, agencies, care homes and the public, • Deliver interventions for falls preventions in both home and Residential Care settings The overall aim of the Framework Agreement is to provide Relevant Authorities with a fully compliant solution for Falls Prevention, Rehabilitation and Recovery Services to supplement the delivery of patient care in line with the NHS' core Key Performance Indicators and standards. This Framework will be formed of three Lots: Lot 1 - Falls prevention services Lot 2 - Post fall rehabilitation and recovery services Lot 3 - Combination of all services The Framework has been established under The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and The Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025 (and as amended) (together the PSR) for use by all Relevant Authorities (and any future successors to these organisations).
