Lot 1: We are seeking expressions of interest to deliver a bespoke inpatient eating disorder service to a young adult outside of the usual contractual and financial framework for adult eating disorder inpatient services. <br/><br/>Due to the person’s complexity of presentation and current acuity levels, we are looking to procure a bespoke option that can meet the person’s treatment needs within a time-limited inpatient admission. <br/><br/>Below is a summary of the care that will be required:<br/><br/>• 24-hour care in an inpatient eating disorder environment under a section of the mental health act.<br/>• A multi-disciplinary team that can meet the person’s medical, psychological and social needs. <br/>• Nasal Gastronomy (NG) feeding under restraint<br/>• Ability to manage high levels of distress including self-harm, verbal abuse and assaultive behaviour.<br/>• A long-term segregation (LTS) environment initially with the ability to transfer out of LTS as soon as is reasonably possible. <br/>• Clear focus on least restrictive practice.<br/>• Ability to make reasonable adjustments for a working diagnosis of autism<br/>• Advocacy.<br/>• Carer support.<br/><br/>Required Service / Aims of Admission<br/><br/>One of the main aims of the admission would be to increase Body Mass Index (BMI) or restore weight, reduce the current restrictions (including LTS), develop a life plan (to support discharge planning) and prepare for discharge. It will involve a commitment to meet with the external stakeholders regularly and be actively involved in any legal framework planning that will be needed for discharge e.g. Condition Of Participation (COP) or Depravation of Liberty Safeguards (DOLs). <br/><br/>There should be regular reviews to assess the relative risks versus benefits (both physical and psychological) of the treatment plan, particularly given the likely high level of restraint and the need for LTS. This balance may shift as the BMI increases. The overarching aim should be that treatment should be in the person’s best interests. <br/><br/>The service will need to be able to deliver the required expertise in the treatment of eating disorders (in accordance with the specification for AED inpatient services) whilst also making the necessary adjustments in relation to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
