Description
NHS England South West (the Commissioner) is recommissioning Healthcare Services to Vinney Green Secure Children's Home. Adverts were placed on Contracts Finder and the Find a Tender Service and an Open procedure was undertaken in July 2022. No bids were received.
Vinney Green Secure Children's Home (SCH) is based in South Gloucestershire and accommodates up to 24 children and young people (CYP) of both sexes, aged between 10 and 17, at any one time. The population is transient (short average length of stay), dynamic (high rates of turnover), heterogeneous (varied reasons for referral and unique circumstances) and is drawn from a large population (CYP can be referred from anywhere in the United Kingdom).
The home is licensed for operation by OFSTED and it contracts with the Youth Custody Service to provide placements for young people. It is subject to regular inspection by a range of government and local authority approved officials, to ensure the highest standards are maintained at all times. The home is managed by South Gloucestershire Council's Department for Children, Adults and Health.
Length of stay in the Home is highly variable and some young people will start sentences that will see them transition to adult custodial settings.
NHS England is responsible for commissioning all health services in the Home and for the clinical governance of the services provided.
The healthcare services provision will include:
• General Medical Services
• Mental Health Services
• Primary Care Nursing
• Public Health Programmes
• Emotional Wellbeing services
• Contraception and sexual health advice services
• Substance misuse services - Psychosocial and pathways to clinical treatment.
• Screening and immunisation
• Diagnostic services
• Smoking Cessation Services
• Management of long-term conditions
• Health promotion and prevention
The service will facilitate access to community based secondary care services, including dentistry and optometry.
It is vital that there is continuity of provision for these services and, as there are no concerns with the quality or value for money of the current service, the Commissioner has taken the decision to re-award the contract to Avon & Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership Trust, the incumbent provider.
The contract term will be for 7 years, with a total contract value of £5,875,000.00.
The new contract is due to commence on 1st April 2023.
This process has been carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners.
