The COVID pandemic, with the consequent need to focus resource on managing repeated waves and subsequent, ongoing recovery and restoration priorities have caused a delay in re-commissioning Tier 3 Bariatric services across Sussex, which we had intended to undertake during the 20/21 financial year. We now anticipate undertaking a procurement in the early part of 22/23 and preparation for this is underway.

Tier 3 weight management service provision aims to:

  • To provide an alternative to surgical intervention
  • To prepare patients adequately if a surgical intervention is required
  • To improve health outcomes in severely obese patients
  • To provide a maintenance plan for patients who are exiting the service

To provide a service for patients who meet the referral criteria

  • To improve health outcomes in severely obese patients
  • To reduce the health burden of obesity

In order to ensure that there is no break in service availability for current patients, many of whom would have only recently commenced lengthy pathways, we intend to renew the current Tier 3 weight management contracts in East Sussex (High Weald Lewes & Havens) and West Sussex CCG (for North West and Mid Sussex) with TBC Healthcare Ltd for 22 months, and in West Sussex CCG (for Coastal West Sussex) with Sussex Medical Chambers Ltd, also for 22 months. Where these contracts are superseded by contracts arising from the planned procurement, they will be terminated early in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions and in the best interests of patients. Additional information: Contract values are as follows:

TBC Healthcare Ltd:

East Sussex CCG (old HLWH CCG area) = £227,490

West Sussex CCG (for North West and Mid Sussex) = £823,405

Sussex Medical Chambers Ltd:

West Sussex CCG (for Coastal West Sussex) = £831,342.

Delivery: South East · East and West Sussex CCG areas.

Review procedure

Refer to South of England Procurement Services to trigger the review process. This process can be further escalated to NHS Improvement or High Court of England and Wales.

Publisher note: Please note: NHS England and Improvement have announced that the Sussex Health and Care Partnership, which is made up of all health and care organisations across East Sussex, West Sussex, and Brighton and Hove, has successfully met the criteria to become an Integrated Care System (ICS). An ICS is a way of working across health and care organisations that allows them to work closer together, to take collective responsibility of the health and wellbeing of populations across large areas. It is not anticipated that the statutory responsibility or accountability of the individual health and care organisations working as an ICS will be affected, save for the expectation that CCG organisations will be abolished and functions transferred to the ICS. As a result of these intended healthcare reforms, the Contracting Authorities, currently NHS West Sussex CCG, NHS Brighton and Hove CCG and NHS East Sussex CCG, may change during the life of the contract.
