Summary of the contracting process

NHS England, a key buyer in the public healthcare sector, has completed the procurement stage for the "New Prison and Prison Expansions Healthcare Design Review". This initiative, part of the government's 'New Prisons Programme', aims to address the healthcare design needs associated with expanding prison capacities in the UK, particularly in England, as outlined by the postal code SE1 8UG. The procurement focused on health services, with a selective method applied via a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £15,225, commenced on 1st January 2024 and is set to conclude on 1st January 2027.

This contract presents significant opportunities for firms specialising in healthcare architectural design, particularly those capable of addressing complex healthcare needs in correctional facilities. With the design responsibilities awarded to MEDICAL ARCHITECTURE & ART PROJECTS LTD, an SME, businesses with similar expertise could find opportunities in future projects under the larger framework of government prison expansions. This procurement highlights the importance of niche specialisations and suitability to meet stringent healthcare standards in competitive tenders led by government bodies like NHS England.
