The L&D function will provide information, guidance and signposting to appropriate health or social care settings. L&D also acts as a point of referral and assertive follow up for individuals to ensure they can access, and are supported to attend, treatment and rehabilitation appointments. L&D will also provide critical information on those individuals to decision-makers in the justice system, in real time, for consideration when it comes to charging and sentencing.

        "procurementMethodRationale": "Key reasons for selecting the provider include: Devon Partnership NHS Trust (DPT) and Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CFT) have a strong history of successfully providing the growing Peninsula Liaison and Diversion (L&D) services for the last 5 years and no service quality issues have been raised by the commissioners. L&D services are well established within both DPT and CFT, ensuring that they will be embedded within quality, performance and financial frameworks within both organisations from day one of the contract. The services are already a fundamental element of both organisations' business plans and existing structures. Via DPT's long term, established working relationship with CFT, the relevant service delivery in this part of the Peninsula will be a seamless, integrated delivery model that best utilises joint skills and expertise gained through worked successfully together. As current service providers, CFT can provide continuity of service and minimal disruption to service users. Being the current providers of these services will also help to, as a minimum, maintain existing service quality whilst also providing a platform for improvement. Through our relative positions in Devon and Cornwall's sustainability and transformation partnerships as well as the unique network that exists between DPT and CFT. This creates a scale of service and expertise that allows us to continue to consistently innovate to find more efficient and effective ways of providing our services, whilst simultaneously being in a unique position to share expertise and learning across the Peninsula. Our Trusts work well collaboratively; we have embedded relationships strong governance processes and clear reporting lines from the service to the Board and commissioners. Effective service delivery relies on successful roster management and allocation of staff to meet demand. DPT's relationship with CFT ensures the right support is given to service users as required. Both CFT and DPT have continuing professional development (CPD) budgets to support staff development and individuals are able to apply for a bursary to fund CPD. Core training and CPD is recorded and monitored for all staff using online learning management systems, allowing for reporting, monitoring of compliance, booking of face-to-face training, and completion of e-learning. DPT and CFT are fully committed to equality and diversity in terms of our workforce and the people we serve. We uphold the values as written in the NHS Constitution and these are embedded in all we do: -Compassion -Respect and Dignity -Everyone counts -Improving Live -Working together for patients -Commitment to quality of care By making a direct award for this contract, DPT were able to mitigate any delay in mobilisation and focus on operational delivery and service improvements from contract commencement. The decision to award is therefore grounded in the provider's ability to meet the requirements of the specification while offering scalable system value, focused service delivery, and demonstrable outcomes."
