Supported Accommodation Service in Swindon to Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board

NHS Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board ("the ICB") is intending to award a contract to the existing provider Rethink Mental Illness following a Most Suitable Provider process in accordance with the criteria outlined in Regulation (10) of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 for its existing Supported Accommodation in Swindon.

The service is for a 10 bedded supported accommodation provision in Swindon providing 24-hour support and supervision for service users accepted as being suitable for non-nursing based input, including accommodation in a homely environment. The input will be of a recovery based approach with the aspects of choice, self-determination, personalisation and social inclusion as the paramount philosophies and outputs. The service is provided for ages 18 year+.

Mental health Care coordination is provided by secondary mental health services and/or the Local Authority, with proactive collaboration by both providers being essential to achieving the service objectives and assist service users to move along the recovery pathway. There is no time threshold for residing at the provision.

The lease for the premises the service is currently delivered from is not transferable, therefore, a suitable 10 bed operational facility is required within the local area. The service is required to be CQC Registered. A Prior Information Notice reference 2025/S 000-007399, was published informing the market of the intention to undertake a Most Suitable Provider process.

This notice has been published by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner.
