Contract Summary
NHS England (NHSE) South East, ("the Commissioner") are seeking Provider(s) who have the capability and capacity to deliver non-custodial services, specifically Liaison & Diversion and RECONNECT services, across the South East of England NHSE region. The non-custodial programmes focus on appropriate diversion, support, and recovery of those entering the criminal justice system (Liaison & Diversion) through to and on release from a secure setting (RECONNECT). The non-custodial programmes provide a continuous pathway of support for individuals, ensuring communication and information sharing across the non-custodial programme interfaces and thereby supporting the individual's access to treatment and support across the pathway. The services will aim to improve health and criminal justice outcomes for children, young people and adults who come into contact with the youth and criminal justice systems. The procurement is split across five geographic lots, with the following corresponding maximum annual lot values: • Lot 1 - Thames Valley - £4.22m • Lot 2 - Hampshire and Isle of Wight - £3.39m • Lot 3 - Kent - £3.07m • Lot 4 - Surrey - £1.67m • Lot 5 - Sussex - £2.31m The contract duration will be for seven years, with services due to commence on 1st April 2024. The total maximum combined lot value over the life of the seven-year contract is £102.6m. Liaison and Diversion (L&D) services aim to provide early intervention for vulnerable individuals (both young people and adults) as they come to the attention of the criminal justice system. L&D services provide a prompt response to concerns raised by the police, probation service, youth offending teams or court staff, and provide critical information to decision-makers in the justice system, in real time, when it comes to charging and sentencing these vulnerable people. L&D also acts as a point of referral and assertive follow up for these service users, to ensure they can access, and are supported to attend, further help. RECONNECT is a care after custody service that seeks to improve the continuity of care of individuals with an identified health need leaving prison or an Immigration Removal Centre (IRC). This involves working with them before they leave to support their transition to community-based services, thereby safeguarding health gains made whilst in prison or an IRC. RECONNECT services aim to improve the wellbeing of people leaving prison or IRCs, reduce inequalities, address health-related drivers of offending behaviours and/or absconding. Whilst not a service which provides clinical interventions, the RECONNECT service offers liaison, advocacy, signposting, and support to those leaving prison or IRCs to support engagement in community- based health and support services. TUPE implications are likely to apply to all areas; workforce information is available upon request during the tender period.

Contract Summary
NHS England (NHSE) is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from providers who have the capability and capacity to deliver Liaison and Diversion (L&D) services across the South East of England. Interested providers will need to complete a Market Engagement Questionnaire in order to register their EOI (see details below). The contracts will serve all ages of service users across all points of intervention in the youth and criminal justice pathways, addressing a wide range of health issues and vulnerabilities, including those with protected characteristics as set out in the Equality Act 2010. The requirement will most likely be split across 5 (five) discrete lots, as follows, with a contract awarded for each lot: • Hampshire • Thames Valley • Kent • Surrey • Sussex The proposed contracts are due to commence on 1st April 2024 and will run for a duration of 7 (seven) years, with an option to extend for a further 1 (one) year, at the discretion of the Commissioner. EOIs received will be used to help NHSE identify any existing or potential capacity and determine commissioning and contracting options for these services. As such, only organisations with appropriate experience, capability, and actual/potential capacity to mobilise in this timeframe should respond to this notice. There are high numbers of people with mental health, learning disability, substance misuse and other psychosocial vulnerabilities entering the youth and criminal justice systems, who can be managed more appropriately in the community, or diverted from the justice pathway altogether. The service will be available to people of all ages, to ensure that it addresses the needs of children and young people, those transitioning between youth and adult services, and adults. The entry point to the service will be as and when an individual comes into contact with the police (or other criminal investigating authority) under suspicion of having committed a criminal offence. L&D services provide a prompt response to concerns raised by the police, probation service, youth offending teams or court staff, and provide critical information to decision-makers in the justice system, in real time, when it comes to charging and sentencing these vulnerable people. L&D also acts as a point of referral and assertive follow up for these services users to ensure they can access, and are supported to attend, treatment and rehabilitation appointments. In this way, L&D services are expected to help reduce reoffending, reduce unnecessary use of police and court time, ensure that health matters are dealt with by healthcare professionals, and reduce health inequalities for some of the most vulnerable in society. Critical drivers of effective provision include: • a clear definition • connectivity across different local agencies with a local post-diversion infrastructure underpinned by a shared commissioning strategy • accessibility • skilled staff • outcome-focused measures and • proportionate and minimal intervention. In order to submit an EOI, you will need to be registered on the e-procurement system and complete the market engagement questionnaire. Interested providers will be able to view the opportunity via the 'Live Opportunities' list on the e-procurement system, Atamis, available at the following link: https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome. Upon doing so you will also be able to access the associated provider questionnaire. IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you complete the questionnaire in order to fully submit your EOI. The deadline for registration, EOI and questionnaire returns is 12:00 5th April 2023. On registration, please include at least two contacts to allow for access to the system in times of absence.
