Description
NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSEI) South East (the Commissioner) sought to commission a prime provider for the provision of Integrated Health and Emotional Wellbeing Services to the children and young people resident at two Secure Children's Homes (SCH) in the South East. The procurement was split into two lots:
• Lansdowne SCH in East Sussex (Lot 1)
• Swanwick Lodge in Hampshire (Lot 2)
The provision will offer at least equivalent access and quality to services in the local community.
NHSEI will hold a contract with the prime provider, who in turn can directly provide care and/or subcontract care to other specialist providers. The prime provider will also be responsible for ensuring that all of the health and emotional wellbeing services operating within the SCH work in an integrated way, delivering seamless care pathways.
Lansdowne SCH is a mixed-sex 12 bed establishment in East Sussex for young people aged 10-17. The SCH is operated by East Sussex County Council, with a registered homes manager and 24 hour care staff available.
Swanwick Lodge SCH is a mixed-sex 16 bed establishment in Hampshire for young people aged 10-17. The SCH is operated by Hampshire County Council, with a registered homes manager and 24 hour care staff available.
Both SCHs also have an on-site school that provides education to the young people whilst they are at the home. The provider will be required to work effectively with key partners to deliver a cohesive experience of care for the children and young people.

The healthcare provision will also facilitate (but not be responsible for directly providing) access to community based dentists and opticians for the children and young people, with the support of SCH care staff.
The contracts are due to commence on the 1st July 2021, with contract duration of 7 years.
The maximum contract values for the services are:
- Lot 1 Lansdowne SCH = maximum annual contract value £520,000, with a maximum total contract lifecycle value of £3,640,000
- Lot 2 Swanwick Lodge = maximum annual contract value £665,000, with a maximum total contract lifecycle value of £4,655,000
