Summary of the contracting process

NHS England (East) has awarded a contract to Phoenix Futures for providing Psychosocial substance misuse services at HMP Highpoint, HMP Warren Hill, HMP Hollesley Bay, HMP Norwich, HMP Bure, and HMP Wayland. The contract, valued at £15,400,000 GBP, was signed on 16th August 2022 and is active until 31st March 2025. The procurement process was initiated through a tender, and the contract falls under the category of Health and social work services. The service is essential for vulnerable people in prisons in the east of England, aiming to ensure continuity of care at contract expiry despite challenges in staff recruitment and retention due to the geographical locations of the prisons.

This contract extension by NHS England (East) can create business growth opportunities for companies experienced in providing health and social work services, especially in prison settings. The nature of the services, focused on psychosocial substance misuse, requires specialised expertise and a commitment to supporting vulnerable populations. Businesses with a track record in delivering similar services to prisons or healthcare facilities could find this tender suitable for their expansion plans. The contract extension until 2025 provides stability and continuity for the service, allowing interested businesses to plan their engagement or contemplate future tendering opportunities beyond 2023 or 2024.

    "description": "NHS England (East) proposes to extend the contract with Phoenix Futures under the provisions of the Public Contract regulations 72 (1) b: These are specialised services with a limited market in the east of England. The previous provider went into administration in 2016/17 which may indicate the fragility of the market and the low margins available from the provision of this service. The service is provided to vulnerable people in prisons and therefore ensuring continuity of care at contract expiry is essential. The geographical locations of the prisons means that recruitment and retention of staff for the service is challenging. Market engagement specific to this contract opportunity has not been undertaken, but NHS England is aware from other possible providers of prison services in the region that the appetite for obtaining new business is constrained by the significant problems of finding and retaining experienced and qualified staff in these rural locations. Some providers have declined to vary their contracts for relatively limited service developments as a result. It is believed that the potential workforce issues associated with existing staff choosing not to TUPE transfer to a new employer when contracts expire are limiting the market. The changes resulting from the Health and Care Act and the implementation of integrated care partnerships are being managed by local providers. NHSE views one or two years of continuity and stability as helpful to ensuring the stability and continuity of these services. These issues support the rationale for NHSE extending this contract as they demonstrate that the exemption criteria are met. NHS England will review in 2023 and will decide either to tender the service at that point or in 2024 at the latest.",
