  "description": "The provider selection process was based on five key criteria, each weighted to reflect its importance in service delivery, value, and sustainability:\nQuality and Innovation - 40%:\nService quality is key to outcomes experienced by guests at the service. The nature of the service, working as an alternative to MH inpatient admission requires a high standard of quality and safety to ensure guests can be stabilized whilst at the provision and return to their own homes.  \nValue - 20%:\nBed based services need to reflect value for money to ensure resources are appropriately allocated and monitored.\nIntegration, collaboration, and service sustainability - 20%:\nWorking with other agencies and stakeholders is key to the delivery of positive outcomes for guests of the service.\nImproving access, reducing health inequalities, and facilitating choice - 10%:\nAs an alternative to inpatient admission, the service facilitates choice, improves access to community-based provision and serves a client group who are often subject to compounded inequalities.\nSocial Value - 10%\nProviding local employment and training opportunities supports the local economy to thrive.\nThe Commissioner intends to award the contract to Turning Point Services Ltd following review of the above structured evaluation of key criteria, selection standards, and PSR compliance, which demonstrated that the provider continues to deliver a high-quality service whilst ensuring the best value and service continuity for NHS Sussex.\nThe assessment of the current service is as follows:\nQuality and innovation:\n•\tThe service has a single referral pathway with 100% of its nominations being generated from the Sussex Partnership Foundation Trust (SPFT) Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment (CRHT) teams. Significant work has been undertaken to design, develop and agree referral protocols to ensure client risk understanding and appropriate referral quality.\n•\tService quality is further demonstrated by 98% of people admitted to the Sanctuary in 24/25 returning to their home address after their stay, with 2% being admitted to a psychiatric ward because of a deterioration in their mental health whilst resident at the service.\n•\tService innovation has seen protocols developed to enable referrals to be made from other areas of Sussex to relive where necessary inpatient unit bed pressures.\n•\tIn addition, the service has developed a system to promote and support the national Physical Health Check - Serious Mental Illness initiative. In 24/25 73% of residents at the service had received a full 6point annual Physical Health Check. \nValue:\n•\tThe provider has reviewed its value for money in 24/25 and operating costs in order to work within NHS uplift constraints. This has resulted in a streamlining of service operation and increased value of the contract to the ICB.\n•\tThe service provides a cost-effective alternative to inpatient admission on a cost per bed day basis.\n•\tEvidence suggests that there is a strong benefit correlation in terms of patient recovery and positive outcomes utilising community-based services rather than inpatient psychiatric admissions. The service enjoys high levels of positive Patient Experience Questionnaire (PEQ) returns and received no complaints in 24/25.\nIntegration, collaboration and service sustainability:\n•\tThe service reflects the aspirations contained within the new 10 Year NHS plan in respect of movement away from inpatient provision to community delivery and the desire to provide services that focus on wellness, health improvement and recovery.\n•\tThe service collaborates with a range of external agencies including Primary Care which is demonstrated by the high percentage of residents having a completed annual PHC.\n•\tThe service initiates regular contact with East Sussex CRHT teams in order to promote collaboration and support service sustainability. \nImproving access, reducing health inequalities, and facilitating choice\n•\tThe provider delivers a high-quality service to a patient cohort who are often subject to compounded inequalities which can result in a 25year less life expectancy than someone without an SMI designation.\n•\tThe service provides a choice of provision in the community in addition to a standard inpatient psychiatric admission. This is further demonstrated by the development of protocols that allow referral of clients from other areas of Sussex facilitating choice and improving access.\nSocial Value\n•\tThe service has a positive impact on local employment, environmental and health inequalities reduction objectives and therefore meets its Social Value objectives as described in the original ITT bidding documentation.\nNo conflicts of interest were identified.\nDecision maker: Deputy Chief Delivery and Strategy Officer, Director of Commissioning, NHS Sussex ICB.\nThis is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award. The standstill period begins on the day after the publication of this notice.\nRepresentations by providers must be made to decision makers by 8th October 2025. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR.\nAny written representations should be sent to robert.kitt1@nhs.net.",
