Notice Description

Commissioners within NHS Brighton and Hove CCG, NHS East Sussex CCG and NHS West Sussex CCG are considering recommissioning a Physical Activity Programme for people living with and recovering from Cancer across Brighton and Hove, East Sussex. NHS Sussex Commissioners would also like to explore the possibility of expanding the service provision in West Sussex. The current service provides on average 197 referrals per year in Brighton and Hove, 161 referrals per year in East Sussex and 50 in West Sussex, with a potential for more in West Sussex. The aim of the service is to increase awareness of the benefits of physical activity when undergoing treatment for cancer and recovering from cancer. The long-term aim of this service is to reduce cancer mortality rates and improve the general health and wellbeing for patients. This programme aims to strengthen interventions along cancer care pathways and ensure that cancer survivors feel supported and have an improved quality of life. It is anticipated that the service would be offered for tender under a standard NHS contract for a period of 3 years commencing on the 1st April 2023 with option to extend for a maximum of a further 2 years. The purpose of this RFI is to gauge market interest and feedback via the RFI response form for the provision of the Physical Activity Programme for People Living with and recovering from Cancer Service and provide the CCGs with valuable information to help update and improve the current service specification. We intend to gauge market interest across Sussex, to include Brighton and Hove, East and West Sussex.

Additional information: Key Aims and Objectives To provide personalised support as part of the rehabilitation service for individuals living with and beyond cancer, supporting them to increase their physical activity levels and improve quality of life and deliver tailored exercise programmes and use motivational interviewing techniques to plan and support long term behaviour change. Budget: Financial year: 2022/2023 Brighton and Hove PS90,500 East Sussex PS74,000 West Sussex PS 100,000 Process This is a process designed to help the Commissioners form a view of the best way to commission the service and is not the beginning of a tender exercise. A further tender advertisement will be issued at the appropriate time as/if required. You will not be disadvantaged in any subsequent tender process if you choose not to respond to this RFI but the Commissioners will use the level of response received as part of the supporting evidence for any next steps taken. The Commissioners wish to understand your views at this early stage, so you are encouraged to respond and complete the RFI form as fully as you can. Contracting Authority Please note: NHS England and Improvement have announced that the Sussex Health and Care Partnership, which is made up of all health and care organisations across East Sussex, West Sussex, and Brighton and Hove, has successfully met the criteria to become an Integrated Care System (ICS). An ICS is a way of working across health and care organisations that allows them to work closer together, to take collective responsibility of the health and wellbeing of populations across large areas. It is not anticipated that the statutory responsibility or accountability of the individual health and care organisations working as an ICS will be affected, save for the expectation that CCG organisations will be abolished and functions transferred to the ICS. As a result of these intended healthcare reforms, the Contracting Authority, currently NHS East Sussex CCG, NHS Brighton and Hove CCG and NHS West Sussex CCG may change during the life of the contract.
