This notice is placed as a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to inform the market of NHS England Midlands, (the Commissioner's), intention to recommission Adult Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) Services in Leicestershire. The Commissioner would like to understand the level of provider interest in delivering these services and if there are any issues that would prevent a provider in applying and how these may be mitigated.

NHS England East Midlands (NHSE), the Offices of the Police & Crime Commissioner (OPCCs) and Police Forces within the Leicestershire are seeking views of providers who have the capability and capacity to deliver SARC provision for adults (18 years and over).

A recommissioning exercise would aim to increase equity of access and ensure a consistent and high standard of quality care to victims of sexual assault. The service would be delivered in line with current national standards, guidance and best practice, and at the same time meet the local needs of the Force area.

If you are interested in providing these services in the future, please register on the e-procurement system, Atamis and submit a completed market questionnaire.

This exercise is being managed by NHS Arden and GEM Commissioning Support Unit (AGEM) on behalf of the Commissioner.
