South London Child Sexual Abuse Therapeutic Service

Description

NHS England - London (hereafter referred to as "the Authority") is seeking to commission the South London Child Sexual Abuse Therapeutic Service, a specialist therapeutic service for children and young people who are victims of sexual abuse. The service will cover the 12 South London Boroughs across the SEL and SWL ICB regions, supporting a population that has historically been underserved by such provision. It will deliver clinically led, trauma-informed therapeutic interventions, including support for CSA service and pathway development, direct therapeutic provision, partnership working with relevant stakeholders, and mobilisation of the staffing and infrastructure required to deliver the service specification. This notice is an intention to award a contract under the Most Suitable Provider (MSP) process (The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, Regulation 10). The annual contract value is £370,000. The contract for the Service will be awarded for an initial period of 1 year (12 months), with the option to extend for two further periods of 1 year (12 months) each, at the sole discretion of the relevant authority. Therefore, the maximum duration of this contract, if both extension options are taken up, will be up to 3 years (36 months).
