It falls under the community health services category and is located in the region UKJ21, covering Brighton. The procurement stage is in the award phase, with the contract being signed on 15th April 2026. This urgent direct award was necessitated by Brighton & Hove City Council's decision not to continue financially contributing to the contract, prompting NHS Sussex to intervene for service continuity through a 12-month award to Mankind UK. The procurement method used is a limited procedure, justified by extreme urgency as specified in regulatory directives. This contract presents opportunities for businesses specialising in trauma-related therapeutic interventions. Companies with experience in delivering services aligned with PTSD and complex PTSD treatments would be particularly suited to this opportunity. The current provider, Mankind UK, demonstrates sufficient capability to meet contract standards, reflecting the demand for skilled healthcare providers in community health services. Businesses with the ability to offer innovative therapeutic solutions or collaborate with Integrated Care Systems (ICS) partners could find potential growth areas within this contract framework, especially as competitive tenders may arise in the future. ## Notice An integrated pathway, providing support to those who have been a victim of a (recent or historical), sexual or domestic violence incident. A range of therapeutic interventions are delivered to those who present with trauma reactions and trauma related symptoms and experiences, including PTSD and complex PTSD. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Brighton & Hove City Council (BHCC) has held this contract since its inception. As BHCC no longer contributes financially, they notified NHS Sussex that they wished to cease holding the contract. In January 2026, BHCC informed the ICB that the contract would not be novated across to the ICB. An urgent direct award is therefore now required to ensure service continuity for patients. Given these factors, a 12-month urgent direct award has been made to ensure current provision is maintained while plans are progressed to either competitively tender and/or delegate commissioning arrangements to an ICS partner. Failure to make this direct award risked disrupting therapeutic journeys, escalating unmet needs to crisis pathways, losing skilled staff, and undermining a smooth transition to the new service model. ### Procurement Information Brighton & Hove City Council (BHCC) has held this contract since its inception.
