SEL ICB (Bexley) Health & Wellbeing Coaching und Community Health & Wellbeing Workers (CHWWs) mit Social Prescribing Service Specification

The notice relates to SEL ICB (Bexley) Health & Wellbeing Coaching and Community Health & Wellbeing Workers (CHWWs) with Social Prescribing Service Specification services. The service is an existing service and will be provided by an existing provider. The process being followed is a Most Suitable Provider Process under the Provider Selection Regime 2023 under the Most Suitable Provider (MSP) process (The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, Regulation 10). This service is for those who live in the London Borough of Bexley or are registered with a Bexley GP practice. Following the publication of the NHS 10 Year Plan, Bexley Place is driving forward with establishing a Neighbourhood Health Service in each of its three neighbourhoods. A fundamental component of a neighbourhood health service is to support residents with the wider determinants of health which have an impact on how they are able to manage their long-term conditions. The population in Bexley is diverse, both culturally and economically. The borough is split into 3 Neighbourhoods, these are: • Frognal (Sidcup & Bexley) • Clocktower (Bexleyheath & Welling) • North Bexley (Erith, Thamesmead & Abbey Wood) There are approximately 26,000 people living in Bexley who have 3 or more long term conditions. North Bexley is the most culturally and economically diverse part of the borough, with 15,995 residents living in the lowest 20% deprivation decile - this is 15% of the North Bexley population. In the other parts of the borough, the number of residents living in the lowest 20% deprivation decile is 2,774, which is 2% of that population. People living in the most deprived 20% of Bexley have a shorter life expectancy than those living in the least deprived 20%. For females, the gap is 2.2 years, and for males the gap is 5.2 years. Bexley Place seeks an established provider of voluntary services based in the London Borough of Bexley, with a proven track record in currently delivering social prescribing and peer support services. The provider must be an existing key partner of the integrated neighbourhood teams' development in the London Borough of Bexley. The provider must be able to mobilise within 3 months of the contract award. The provider will be expected to work closely with SEL Integrated Care Board (Bexley Place) to mobilise, deliver and evaluate the service model. The Commissioner may request that the provider modifies the delivery of the service if the findings from the evaluation or resident feedback gives just reason. The commissioner is seeking to achieve, via this procurement, a service and provider that is committed to supporting the development of neighbourhood models of healthcare. The 10-Year Health Plan mandates neighbourhood models of healthcare and these are currently being developed across England. In Bexley, by 2026, the borough will have in place three neighbourhoods each with a new integrated neighbourhood team.
