Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has completed the procurement process for the "Delivery of National Enabling Environments in Prisons Project (NEEPP)", awarding the contract to the Royal College of Psychiatrists. The project falls under the education and training services category and will be implemented across the United Kingdom with a contract starting on 1st September 2024 and concluding on 31st March 2027. The procurement process used a limited procurement method through a negotiated procedure without prior publication, with the contract valued at £249,300. Critical steps in the procurement were completed by 9th September 2025, when the award was activated.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for large-scale businesses specialising in educational and training services to partake in projects within correctional facilities. Although small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) were noted as unsuitable for this project due to its scale and complexity, established companies with expertise in delivering educational services in regulated environments can greatly benefit from exposure and potential long-term engagements. Engaging in such public procurement not only offers a route for business growth in the public sector but also enhances a company's profile in specialised service delivery.
