## Summary

Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is preparing to award a contract for the expansion of its Supported Tenancies Scheme in Brighton and Hove. This scheme, which falls under health services, offers a pathway to independence for adult rehabilitation services by providing long-term homes alongside tailored mental health care. The procurement stage is in the 'Award' phase, marking an intention to award notice under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, rather than the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The proposal aims to add 5-10 new properties as part of the Trust's Community Rehabilitation Service, with the standstill period allowing for provider representations until 2nd September 2025. The scheme underlines the Trust's commitment to its Financial Recovery Plan through cost-effective alternatives to inpatient care.

Businesses specialising in health services and residential care facilities are well-positioned to benefit from this tender, particularly those offering rehabilitation services and housing management solutions. The contract's estimated lifetime value is £113,692, with an optional extension possibly raising it by £56,846 further supporting operational costs. As the procurement method utilised is a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, there is an opportunity for entities currently interacting with or familiar with NHS service models to engage directly with the awarded supplier, Turning Tides Homelessness. Companies skilled in collaborating with NHS operations and offering customised care plans would find potential growth opportunities aligning with the Trust's strategic objectives. This scheme reflects a significant open path to participate in a project that enhances community rehabilitation services and reduces reliance on restrictive care environments.

## Notice

The Supported Tenancies Scheme is a partnership between the Trust, Registered Providers of Social Housing and Registered Charities for patients using adult rehabilitation services. The Scheme provides long-term homes alongside tailored mental health care and intensive housing management as a pathway to independence and cost-effective alternative to inpatient care.

The pilot scheme was developed in partnership with BHT, Southdown Housing Association, Worthing Homes, and Turning Tides. The Trust underwrites some Scheme void and unrecoverable housing costs as part of a risk-sharing agreement with our housing partners

Following favourable evaluation, this project is intended to expanding the scheme by establishing 5-10 new properties in Brighton and Hove.

Following ongoing conversations with our VCSE and housing partners about possibilities to extend the scheme by more properties, BHT have submitted an outline plan to expand the Supported Tenancies Scheme within Brighton and Hove

SPFT intend by awarding a 12-month contract to BHT, as the only supplier submitting a proposal, to cover staffing, direct services, and operational costs.
