Paediatric Psychiatric Liaison Services

Descriptions

Portsmouth and Fareham and Gosport South East Hampshire CCG and Portsmouth CCG are direct awarding a Paediatric Psychiatric Liaison Services contract to ensure continuity of service from 1 April 2020 to Solent NHS Trust for a period of 5 years. The continuity given by using the same provider has enabled a period of time for commissioners and providers to work together through a period of co-design, involving a series of structured developments and testing of varied delivery models in-line with both national requirements as well as linked with local service transformations. Due to the complexity of the service, there are a limited number of providers locally in the market. Other options have been explored with alternative providers; however this has been declined due to limited capacity. This award is for a period of 5 years will total GBP 1 309 575; due to potential activity fluctuation and demand forecast, the value is estimated to be between GBP 1.3 million-GBP 1.5 million.
