Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire procured custody and forensic healthcare services. The requirement is healthcare provision for people in custody, alongside forensic healthcare; no further service breakdown is stated. The listed delivery postcode, ST18 0YY, is in Stafford, where the Commissioner’s headquarters is also located. This is a services contract focused on custody healthcare rather than general healthcare provision.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Care & Custody Health. The award was made on 21 June 2024 for £5.5 million. The contract period runs from 1 September 2024 to 31 August 2029. The Commissioner used an open procedure below the threshold. The tender submission deadline was 31 August 2024. No award evaluation criteria are stated.

For suppliers who did not win, this award shows demand from Staffordshire’s police and fire commissioner for custody and forensic healthcare delivered as a substantial, multi-year service. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to provide healthcare in custody settings and deliver forensic healthcare for this buyer. The selected supplier was a large business, and the opportunity was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Relevant experience in both parts of the requirement would therefore be important when establishing capability for comparable work.
