This is a notice of intention to award the Contract for a GP led Community sexual assault service in the Suffolk region via the Most Suitable Provider Process (MSP)
The service is for non-recent survivors. Non-recent survivors are the larger cohort, as most people do not present following the last incident of abuse or assault within the forensic window . Services for all survivors of sexual violence are currently co-commissioned by police services and NHS England for differing purposes.
The service is to be provided to adults and children who have experienced non recent sexual assault/abuse. All acute/forensic cases will continue to be referred to the SARCs and managed start to finish via the police led forensic SARCs (to prevent repeat assessment/duplication for the survivor). However, non-recent cases can be referred to the community SA service.
The Service is required to meet the following needs:
•To demonstrate the effectiveness of a GP led community model for survivors of sexual violence
•To obtain service user feedback on the model
•To integrate care for this cohort with other community services; the current model operates
in separation from other services
•To provide education and training to all stakeholders
•To build and develop a new service with local input and collaboration from partners and
stakeholders
This is a new service that will be delivered by a new Provider.
The service will commence from the contract start date of 1st June 2024 until 31st May 2025 there is an option to extend the contract for up to a further 12 months.
Total contract value is £400,000 (£200,000 per annum)
