Description

South East London Clinical Commissioning Group (SEL CCG) seeks to procure a Post Covid Rehabilitation service from a single provider, for a one year period.  This service will be for the residents of the London Borough of Bexley and the Royal London Borough of Greenwich who have had Covid for more than 12 weeks and who are still not recovered.

It is currently estimated that for patients who have had COVID between 5 to 2.5% will go on to develop post COVID /long COVID syndrome dependent on the sources of research.
For some of these patients this will be linked to discharge from an inpatient stay in the acute services following a certain level of severity to COVID.  For other patients the prolonged conditions may occur after they have felt recovered from the symptoms of COVID.  

The overall aim of the service is to support patients who continue to have post-COVID symptoms of breathlessness, fatigue and muscle pain to better understand and manage these symptoms and enhance a functional recovery.

The Small Medium Size (SME) Provider will need to demonstrate a proven track record of delivering a post covid rehabilitation in South East London, for supporting  patients with the following:

•	To understand why they still feel symptoms  
•	To be able to recognise and optimise their pattern/rate of breathing.
•	To manage activity levels and stabilise their fatigue.
•	To recognise if they need further help with psychological support
•	To support the patient through rehabilitation to move on a journey closer to fitness levels pre-COVID

The service must be delivered as either a virtual or face to face class (or a combination), for 1.5 hours per week, over an 8 week period.  Where classes are delivered face to face, this must be in a convenient, accessible location within the London Borough of Bexley, with parking available and good transport links.

The key outcomes to be demonstrated improvements in the following:
•	Breathing pattern disorder
•	Hyperventilation 
•	Fatigue severity scale
•	Anxiety 
•	Depression

Proposed total duration of contract:

1 year + optional 1 year

Proposed contract value:

Cost and Volume - £128,000 per annum - this is £1,600 per patient (maximum 80 patients unless an increase is agreed during the contract by the Commissioner

This opportunity is restricted to Small Medium Size (SME) providers.

Prison Democratic Therapeutic Communities – Integrated Quality Audit Processes

Democratic Therapeutic Communities (DTCs) in His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) including Therapeutic Communities Plus (TC+) for offenders with Learning Disabilities (LD) are a recognised offending behaviour programme designed with the aim of reducing reoffending, some having been in existence within the prison system for more than 50 years. They form part of the National Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) Pathway, jointly commissioned between HMPPS and NHS England, offering a pathway of interventions for male and female offenders with complex needs. There are currently 14 DTCs operating in the Prison Service; 11 of these delivering the DTC core model within five establishments; and three delivering the TC+ model. DTCs in prisons aim to reduce re-offending through challenging offence-related risk factors. They address the interpersonal problems, attitudes, thinking and emotions of offenders and aim to engage in treatment those who also have additional emotional and psychological needs. DTCs can provide intervention for offenders with impaired psychological functioning and seek to engage offenders who may not be suitable to undertake other accredited Offending Behaviour Programmes. They are an intensive intervention - prisoners will be expected to remain in therapy for at least 18 months and more likely for two years. Therefore, places in DTCs are normally reserved for offenders serving longer sentences, who have a higher likelihood of re-offending, or who are judged to present a high risk of harm to others. DTCs have a strong evidence base underpinning their theoretical model of change that should be delivered in accordance with a set of manuals which have been accredited by the Correctional Services Accreditation Panel (CSAAP). The prison DTCs participate in a mandatory integrated standards-based process of quality assurance processes. These processes require continued development to ensure an effective and appropriate means of measuring the therapeutic environment and the quality of the therapy delivered. The MoJ requires a Supplier to design, develop, deliver and review an integrated standards-based audit and quality improvement process for all DTCs in HMPPS including TC+. The service is to be delivered incorporating a full clinical audit, using specialist auditors, within each cycle that measures each DTC’s compliance with the detailed and accredited operating models for reducing reoffending. This review process will provide a measure of the quality of the intervention as a DTC and its clinical integrity; additionally, it will provide an assessment of clinical performance and report to the Correctional Services Accreditation and Advice Panel (CSAAP) in line with accreditation requirements. The Supplier must also be able to provide avenues for shared learning for all HMPPS DTCs, support their overall development, provide workforce development opportunities for training and improvements in the clinical skills and knowledge of DTC staff and facilitate access to relevant knowledge and learning opportunities. Critically, the clinical evaluation and quality improvement processes will need to be delivered through a methodology that is in keeping with the philosophy and values of the DTC model and will support the specific therapeutic and clinical requirements of its operation.

SWE10562: Provision of Medical Assessment Services

As part of its statutory duty to investigate concerns about the fitness to practise of social workers, Social Work England may, where appropriate, require registrants to undergo a medical assessment, particularly in cases where concerns relate to a registrant's mental or physical health. As Social Work England does not possess the internal capacity to deliver these specialist services, it is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced Service Provider to work in partnership to deliver a high-quality and robust Medical Assessment Service. The appointed provider will be responsible for conducting comprehensive medical assessments and producing clear, quantifiable, evidence-based reports that determine whether a registrant's mental and/or physical health may be impaired to the extent that it could affect their fitness to practise. Experts may also be required, when necessary, to provide witness testimony in fitness to practise hearings.
