NW095 - Expression of Interest for the provision of Adult Community Eating Disorders Services for NHS Norfolk and Waveney ICB

The Norfolk and Waveney ICB is reviewing its arrangements in respect to delivery of specialist community adult eating disorder services across the ICS. The service will support eating disorders as per the ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases – 10th Revision) and DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders – 5th Edition), through the provision of evidence-based interventions as part of a ‘core’ service offer. The service will be informed by the NHS Adult Eating Disorders: Community, Inpatient and Intensive Day Patient Care - Guidance for commissioners and providers and its appendices and for delivery of interventions as set out in the NICE Eating Disorders Quality Standard and NICE – Eating Disorders: recognition and treatment. Additionally, the service will include the provision of: • FREED (First Episode Rapid Early Intervention for Eating Disorders), • ICST (Intensive Community Support Team) • Carers’ Support Services • Support to Primary Care who undertake medical monitoring Similarly, the service will have the ability and perspective to mobilise further services as part of the Norfolk and Waveney All-Age eating Disorders Strategy, such as ARFID (Avoidant / Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) provision in conjunction with the Integrated Care System (ICS). Interested parties will need to demonstrate the ability to: work with the system partners and networks across Norfolk and Waveney in an integrated way; provide a needs-led, recovery-focused service which integrates with the Norfolk and Waveney system; operate as a consultant-led specialist service, with a range of speciality clinicians. Interested parties need to be able to mobilise the service, including staff and premises by 1st April 2023 to ensure a seamless provision for adults with eating disorders in Norfolk and Waveney. Existing services are in place and interested parties should be aware that this is likely to result in a TUPE transfer.
