Description

The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, Paragraph 10 - The Most Suitable Provider Process is being used to commission this service. This notice will be live for fourteen (14) days from the date of publication.
This is a notice to inform the market of the intention to commission a contract for a GP led Community sexual assault service in the Suffolk region
This service is for non-recent survivors. Non-recent survivors are the larger cohort, as most
people do not present following the last incident of abuse or assault within the forensic
window . Services for all survivors of sexual violence are
currently co-commissioned by police services and NHS England for differing purposes.

The service is to be provided to adults and children who have experienced non recent sexual
assault/abuse. All acute/forensic cases will continue to be referred to the SARCs and
managed start to finish via the police led forensic SARCs (to prevent repeat
assessment/duplication for the survivor). However, non-recent cases can be referred to the
community SA service.
The Service is required to meet the following needs:
•To demonstrate the effectiveness of a GP led community model for survivors of sexual violence
•To obtain service user feedback on the model
•To integrate care for this cohort with other community services; the current model operates
in separation from other services
•To provide education and training to all stakeholders
•To build and develop a new service with local input and collaboration from partners and
stakeholders
• To be able to deliver this service safely and effectively from the contract start date of 1st June 2024
until 31th May 2025 there is an option to extend the contract for up to a further 12 months. The
services must be delivered from a GP surgery / surgeries
• Total contract value is (£200,000 per annum)

Provider(s) wishing to express and interest and be considered for the MSP process must
register on Atamis, and submit response via Atamis stating they
would like to be considered. All expressions of interest must be submitted by 12:00 on 10th of April 2024.
