This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to advise prospective providers of the Commissioner’s intention and a planned Market Engagement Event. The Commissioner seeks providers able to demonstrate the achievement of excellent health and criminal justice outcomes, reliable assurance systems and the delivery of high service standards centred on the holistic needs of the client. The provider will be expected to deliver an open access 24/ 7 /365 sexual assault service for adults (18 years plus) who have been sexually assaulted or raped (acute and historic cases). Providers are expected to deliver a one stop service from named SARC locations, supported by referral pathways into appropriate local services for support and follow-up care. The service is expected to provide a clinical consultation which will include the risk assessment of harm/self-harm, together with an assessment of vulnerability and sexual health; there will be immediate access to emergency contraception, post-exposure prophylaxis after sexual exposure (PEPSE) or other acute, mental health or sexual health services and follow-up as needed. The service model is more than a medical examination: it includes access to crisis workers (support staff), counselling and related support and governance activities. Discussions regarding the inclusion of forensic medical examinations in the SARC service model are being held with commissioning partners and further detail will be provided at the bidder event. This list is not exhaustive and is subject to revision and clarification.
