NHS England is the lead commissioner for these services. This procurement was divided into 5 lots with the associated advertised contract values, covering the following areas: Lot 1: Hampshire (including the Isle of Wight); £9,044,000 Lot 2: Kent; £9,044,000 Lot 3: Surrey; £9,044,000 Lot 4: Sussex; £9,044,000 Lot 5: Thames Valley (excluding Milton Keynes); £13,552,000 Due to its geography, there will be two SARC premises in Thames Valley. For all other areas, there will be one SARC premises. The services within scope, include core SARC provision, including, SARC management, the provision of medical and forensic examinations (both acute and non-recent), crisis support and onward referral services for people who have experienced sexual assault. It should be noted that non-recent cases will not necessarily need to be undertaken at the (accredited) SARC site. At present, there is considerable variation in service provision across the SARCs, not only with regard to the age and needs of service users, but also in relation to activity, service specification, and referral pathways. The recommissioning exercise aims to increase equity of access and ensure a consistent and high standard of quality care to victims of sexual assault. The service will be delivered in line with current national standards, guidance and best practice, and at the same time meet the local needs of each Force area. The Provider will ensure that services are delivered in an age-appropriate way for children and adults; all staff must meet the skills and competences commensurate with the role they are performing. The service will consider safeguarding, health and forensic requirements in line with current and relevant guidelines. Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (ISVA) services and therapeutic provision including counselling and talking therapies are out of scope. However, the SARC provider/s will work closely with these services and ensure service users are referred to onward provision as appropriate. The contract term (for each lot) is planned to commence on 1st April 2025 and will be fixed for a duration of seven years. This notice serves as an intention to award a contract under the competitive process of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This procurement has been carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners. ## Lots (5) ### Lot 1: Hampshire (including the Isle of Wight) - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 85100000 - **Delivery regions:** UKJ - **Description:** NHS England (South East), the Office of the Police Crime Commissioner (OPCC) for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight and Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary were seeking providers who have the capability and capacity to deliver Sexual Assault Referr... - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 2: Kent - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 85100000 - **Delivery regions:** UKJ - **Estimated Value:** £9,041,000 - **Description:** NHS England (South East), the Office of the Kent Police & Crime Commissioner (OPCC) and Kent Police were seeking providers who have the capability and capacity to deliver Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs) provision for both adults (18 years and... - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 3: Surrey - **Lot id:** `3` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 85100000 - **Delivery regions:** UKJ - **Estimated Value:** £9,041,000 - **Description:** NHS England (South East), the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) for Surrey and Surrey Police were seeking providers who have the capability and capacity to deliver Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs) provision for both adults (18... - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 4: Sussex - **Lot id:** `4` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 85100000 - **Delivery regions:** UKJ - **Estimated Value:** £9,041,000 - **Description:** NHS England, the Office of the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) and Sussex Police were seeking providers who have the capability and capacity to deliver Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs) provision for both adults (18 years and over) ... - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 5: Thames Valley - **Lot id:** `5` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 85100000 - **Delivery regions:** UKJ - **Estimated Value:** £13,550,000 - **Description:** NHS England (South East), the Office of the Police Crime Commissioner (OPCC) for Thames Valley and Thames Valley Police were seeking providers who have the capability and capacity to deliver Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs) provision for both ... - **Renewal published:** yes ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (5) - **Award:** Hampshire (including the Isle of Wight) (active) - Award id: `030999-2024-1-1` - Supplier(s): **Solent NHS Trust** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-NHS-R1C` - Value: £9,044,000 † (exc.
