NHS Devon Integrated Care Board (NHS Devon) sought the provision of a High Intensity Use service in Torbay and South Devon. The focus of the work includes identification, early intervention and effective management of patients frequently attending the Emergency Department at Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust.

Core principles of the NHSE HIU model procured are that it is an assertive outreach service and does not punish people for being in crisis; instead, it provides a de-medicalised view of support and offers a personable, human touch. The key service principles are:

  • Identify
  • Personalise
  • De-escalate
  • Discharge
  • Manage relapses.
  • Quality of intervention

The HIU service offers a robust way of supporting people who make high intensity use of Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust (TSDFT) urgent and emergency care services. Additional information: The services are services falling within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations") which are not subject to the full regime of the Regulations, but are instead governed by the "Light Touch Regime" contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Regulations (Regulations 74 to 77).

Delivery: South West · Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust
Extensions: The total contract value is £310,000 excluding extensions. At the end of the initial contract term the Commissioners will have an extension option for a further 12 month period which will be awarded at their discretion, giving a maximum possible contract value of £464,982 exclusive of VAT, over 3 years if the full contract term is fulfilled. · At the end of the contract termVariant bids: allowed
