Notice scope excerpt

New requirement - replacement of Brighton Recovery College (C363540), and the SPFT in-House provided Recovery College.<br/><br/>Currently the pan-Sussex Recovery college is provided by two Providers. Brighton is provided by Southdown, previously contracted directly by NHS Sussex but recently delegated to SPFT under the delegated commissioning processes/agenda. The remainder has been provided by SPFT for many years.<br/><br/>The provision across Sussex is being re-designed to provide a single comprehensive prospectus of courses for all students regardless of where they live in Sussex. The prospectus will provide participants with a variety of learning opportunities that align with their recovery goals and proactively tackle health inequalities, and support individuals at the highest risk of marginalization.<br/><br/>The service will be delivered by SPFT in conjunction with a VCSE organisation. <br/><br/>SPFT courses will be co-delivered with clinicians / mental health practitioners. Some are aimed at students with more complex needs but also include understanding and managing common conditions. Courses will be accessible for people recently discharged from hospital or in crisis, focusing on understanding diagnosis and navigating services.<br/><br/>VCSE courses will offer further learning around maintaining recovery, including wellbeing and creative courses. Courses will have a strong link to community networks, some through sub partnerships with charities and community organisations. These courses will respond to local population needs (health inequalities) and focus on moving away from services to volunteering, getting back to work or study<br/><br/>The Authority is intending to award a contract an existing provider following most suitable supplier.<br/>Approximate lifetime contract value £420,000 for intitial contract period and £420,000 optional extension(s)<br/>Contract dates: Initial contract period 04/01/2027 - 03/01/2029.

Questions for a bid or market team

• Which published requirements and lots led to Southdown Housing Association being named?
• What evidence would a supplier need for comparable health and care procurement?
• Do later notices change the term, value, scope or status of these awards?

Answer these questions from the complete procurement pack and later notices. Store the source URL, publication date and exact field behind every conclusion. A supplier name in an award does not prove present capacity, customer satisfaction, future demand or revenue attributable to that supplier.

How to interpret this record

The timeline is evidence of published procurement history, not a lead score. Values can describe a lot, ceiling, estimate or whole contract and must not automatically be treated as annual supplier revenue. Framework appointment does not guarantee call-off work.

Check the original tender, lot structure, duration, modifications and termination notices. Compare several awards before calling a pattern repeatable, and label every inference separately from source facts.
