About

NHS South of England Procurement Services awarded a contract to The Stroke Association for the provision of a Stroke Recovery Service across Sussex.

The contract, valued at £708,098, is for a one-year term with an option to extend for a further year, commencing 1 April 2022.

The service supports stroke survivors on discharge from hospital through assessment, review, education on life after stroke, signposting to grants, peer support, and other community and voluntary organisations, including a formal six-month review post-discharge in some areas.

The contract also extends the West Sussex service into the North Coastal West Sussex area under the same scope, service specification, and KPIs.

The award ensures continuity and consistency of service across Sussex while alignment with national Integrated Stroke Delivery Network (ISDN) guidance is developed.
