The contract, valued at £93,928, was signed on 15 April 2026, with the aim to maintain critical community health services in Brighton and Hove due to Brighton & Hove City Council's withdrawal from contractual obligations. This involves therapeutic support for victims of sexual or domestic violence and was awarded under a limited procurement method for extreme urgency, ensuring continuity of service until further competitive tendering or commissioning arrangements can be defined. While the procurement method did not involve prior publication, it reflects the exceptional urgency to avoid service disruption. The procurement presents opportunities for businesses involved in community health and therapeutic interventions, such as those specialising in trauma support and mental health services. As the award procedure bypassed typical competitive bidding, large suppliers with expertise in delivering high-quality services effectively and swiftly under specific conditions, such as R.I.S.E., are well-suited to benefit from involvement. Going forward, businesses that can offer innovative solutions for integrated health pathways and demonstrate the ability to support complex PTSD and crisis management may find potential growth options once competitive tendering is initiated. ## 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.
