Description

NHS England (NHSE) (referred to as the Commissioner) is inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers to bid to deliver the Service(s), by responding to this opportunity as required and described in this document, and within the published tender.

The key objectives of the Procurement are to establish a contract with a Provider to pilot a rehabilitation programme in primary care, delivering a minimum of 100 training places aimed at patients. The Provider will be appointed in February and the pilot will need to commence in March 2023. The pilot will run across 1-2 Integrated Care Systems (ICSs). These ICSs will be confirmed at a later date.

This programme is designed to support patients who have presented in general practice as aggressive or violent, and should adopt a trauma informed approach in order to ensure it meets the complex needs of some patients.

The service delivered is designed to be on a voluntary basis for the following patient groups:

• patients who have been placed in the Special Allocation Scheme or SAS (previously known as the Violent Patient Scheme., VPS), and/or
• patients whom have received a warning letter regarding their behaviour.

Further information on the Special Allocation Scheme (SAS) can be found in the below under Section 7:
