needs-be

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'change is necessary' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'originally called beds' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'originally' could be 'nee' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'nee' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'beds' is 'dsbe' which is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
