The involvement of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) is encouraged, allowing them to leverage the evolving landscape of prison healthcare in the UK, especially as bidders must navigate potential government policy changes impacting service provision during the contract period.
