This is the establishment of a new service that will provide support to those bereaved by suicide who are resident across Hampshire, Southampton, Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight, with the overarching aim to support those who are experiencing high levels of distress and grief by supporting them to manage the impact of their bereavement and reduce the risk factors associated with this event. The council is targeting to have awarded the contract on 24th December 2021 to allow for service commencement on 1st March 2022. The contract will run for an initial term of 12 months which may then run for a further 24 months to a total maximum term of 36 months (3 years), in increments to be agreed but most likely 1 year increments, subject to performance and at the sole option of the Council. The annual value of the contract for the initial 12 months is £240,000. The annual value of the contract for both years 2 and 3 is currently estimated at £118,000 although this could rise to 1st year value of £240,000 per annum if further funding is made available. Should the higher level of funding be secured for all 3 years this would equate to a total contract value £720,000. Funding for year 1 is secure with funding for years 2 and 3 subject to confirmation on an annual basis. However the funder - NHS England - has advised that funding should be forthcoming for future years and that the associated commissioning plan should be developed on a 3 year basis. Should further funding becoming available over the term of the contract for related services the council may seek to expand the scope of the contracts accordingly which could further increase the contract values. An accurate forecast cannot be made regarding the level of further funding, if any, that may become available but it is not expected to equate to an increase of more than approx. 25% and therefore approx. £900,000 over the duration of the term. However these estimates are not guarantees and are non-binding in terms of any maximum total upper value that may be let via the contracts. The contract value may increase or decrease throughout the contract term subject to any known or unknown changes to budget allocation, variation of services, or addition of further associated services in order to meet changes in demand or service delivery in accordance with Regulations 72 1) a) to e) of the Public Contracts Regulations (2015). An open book costing model will be used alongside the contract to agree any variations over the term. The services covered under the contract are social services and fall under the 'light touch regime'. The Council will execute this procurement process in general accordance with the Open Procedure as set out within the Public Contract Regulations (2015).
