Description
An integrated pathway, providing support to those who have been a victim of a (recent or historical), sexual or domestic violence incident. A range of therapeutic interventions are delivered to those who present with trauma reactions and trauma related symptoms and experiences, including PTSD and complex PTSD.
Total Quantity or Scope
Brighton & Hove City Council (BHCC) has held this contract since its inception. As BHCC no longer contributes financially, they notified NHS Sussex that they wished to cease holding the contract. In January 2026, BHCC informed the ICB that the contract would not be novated across to the ICB. An urgent direct award is therefore now required to ensure service continuity for patients. Given these factors, a 12-month urgent direct award has been made to ensure current provision is maintained while plans are progressed to either competitively tender and/or delegate commissioning arrangements to an ICS partner. Failure to make this direct award risked disrupting therapeutic journeys, escalating unmet needs to crisis pathways, losing skilled staff, and undermining a smooth transition to the new service model.
