Description

NHS England Health & Justice South East (NHSE) is seeking to commission a Provider who has the capability and capacity to deliver the Children and Young Persons Framework for Integrated Care (FfIC) Community Service in the Thames valley area.


The service is to be delivered in three areas of the Thames Valley region (Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire) and needs to consist of:
• A service that offers a clinical screening, assessment and professional consultancy resource to other teams and practitioners (e.g. social care, education, youth offending teams (YOTs)) in the area regarding referrals of vulnerable children with complex needs at risk of contact with the criminal justice system. The service will also advise teams and services on onward referrals of children to other appropriate services in the area.
• A youth worker service, providing ongoing face to face support and engagement to a small caseload of children and young people with complex needs referred by the screening and assessment service

The service will need to facilitate integrated local trauma-informed systems that enable vulnerable children and young people with complex needs to thrive. The Service will need to be characterised by a close level of integration between the clinical delivery and youth work delivery.

The contract term will be 4 years, with a total contract value of £6,788,000. The contract will commence on 1st April 2025.

TUPE will apply.

This exercise is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner.
