NHS England (NHSE) South East seeks to commission a prime provider who has the capability and capacity to deliver an integrated health and emotional wellbeing service to the students at the new Oasis Restore Secure School, in Medway, Kent.
NHSE will hold a contract with the prime provider, who in turn can directly provide care and/or partner with/subcontract elements to other specialist providers, under the single contract with NHSE.
Oasis Restore Secure School will be managed and operated by Oasis Academies Trust and will offer a reparative opportunity to children and young people who have become criminally involved. The students will either be on remand or have received a sentence via court. The School will have an initial capacity of 49 students aged 12 to 18 years, accepting boys and girls, and students will receive an intensive package of psycho-social and educational assessment and support.
The integrated health and emotional wellbeing service will be required to deliver a range of clinical health interventions alongside innovative approaches to providing wellbeing provision, directly contributing to a fully integrated care, education and health programme designed and delivered alongside Oasis onsite. Oasis Restore Secure School will offer a whole establishment approach to developing a trauma informed setting.
Subject to commissioner satisfaction that all checks and appropriate planning are in place, the successful bidder will be expected to actively participate in the on-site mobilisation of the integrated model of care, education and health for children alongside Oasis immediately post the contract award, in order to effectively commence delivery of Health and Wellbeing services once the first children start to arrive in 1st February 2024.
Immediately post the Contract Award (expected to be September 2023) and subject to the subsequent signing of the Contract / Collaborative agreement (as applicable), the Commissioner will commence payment to the provider for the mobilisation of services as per the contract terms as described in the ITT documentation. This will continue until the Service Commencement Date (expected to be 1st February 2024).
Prior to the Service Commencement date, the provider will be required to provide a Financial Statement of expenditure incurred during this period which will be reconciled against contracts payments made.
The total Contract term is expected to be 7 years and 5 months, inclusive of the mobilisation period of 5 months (based on Contract Signature in September 2023) and the Service Delivery period of 7 years maximum (with expected Service Commencement in February 2024).
The maximum total contract value is expected to be £14,833,333 (inclusive of a 5-month indicative mobilisation period, subject to Contract Sign offs).
