The Southampton Early Advice & Support (SEAS) service aims to transform early intervention and preventative health & care services in the city by adopting a community-focused, integrated approach. This aligns with national policies and local strategies, emphasizing collaboration among the voluntary sector, adult social care, children's social care, the NHS and other partners to improve health outcomes and reduce crisis-driven care. Delivery of this service will require development of an alliance between key voluntary sector organisations as well as a 10-year commitment from all partners to work together and integrate working arrangements. Key areas of focus within SEAS will be support for unpaid carers, Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND), advice & information for children & young people, flexible direct support to meet different population needs as well as advice and navigation in relation to adult social care, welfare & benefits, immigration, employment & fuel poverty. Over the contract lifetime the scope is expected to expand with SEAS becoming the first consideration for commissioning any new community-based preventative services. There is a cap on the maximum permitted annual contract value of £8,000,000.
