Keyworker Service East Sussex
Notice Description
NHS Sussex ICB has implemented the national commitment that by 2023/24 autistic people and people with a learning disability up to the age of 25, with the most complex needs, will be allocated a designated keyworker. The service provides a named keyworker for children, young people and adults up to 25 years old with a learning disability and or who are autistic, where there is a significant risk of hospital admission/s due to lack of alternative preventative support. The NHS Sussex ICB review is being undertaken across all Keyworker services in Sussex to assess the current models (including current assessment of need, delivery of outcomes against criteria and best use of resources). This will inform the NHS Sussex commissioning approach for 2026/27 onwards which the ICB plans to confirm in Quarter 1 of 2025/26, following which commissioning of the service for 2026/27 onwards will be undertaken. This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Intention to Award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime - Direct Award C) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. The standstill period will end at 2359 hrs 21.02.2025. Representations by providers must be submitted to the relevant authority via email to robert.kitt1@nhs.net

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period.

This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an Intention to Award under the PSR. Decision maker: Deputy Chief Integration & Primary Care Officer and Director of Joint Commissioning, NHS Sussex ICB. No conflicts of interest were declared. The service evaluation was reviewed against the 5 key criteria: * Quality & Innovation * Value * Integration, collaboration & service sustainability * Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice * Social value These were then weighted as follows: Quality and innovation (30%), Value (20%), Integration, collaboration and service sustainability (20%), Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice (20%); Social Value (10%). In determining the weightings for each of the criteria, our primary focus was on ensuring that the evaluation process reflects the key priorities and objectives of the service. Quality & Innovation: Seeking a home-based supportive service for a vulnerable cohort of young people and their families Value: Value is based on achieving relative hospital avoidance and reduction in presentation to emergency services. Integration, Collaboration, and Service Sustainability: Integration is based on the interoperability of the pathway and service with Dynamic Support Register, CAMHS, Children Services, Education. Improving access, reducing health inequalities, and facilitating choice: Improving access is based on the uptake of 'recovery' based opportunities, for example accessing education and care interventions. Social Value: Social value is based on a service informed by participation and expert by experience of young people and their carers. The existing provider was assessed against key criteria which were weighted according to importance in terms of service delivery and scored satisfactorily against the assessed criteria.",
