Summary of the contracting process

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board, with procurement support from NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, procured a psychosocial substance misuse service at HMP & YOI Parc Prison in Bridgend. The service provides specialist support to adult prisoners and young people, including assessment, stabilisation, assisted withdrawal and wider psychosocial interventions. Its purpose is to provide safe, effective treatment comparable in range and quality with services in the wider community, while reducing health inequalities for people in custody. The requirement is a healthcare service, classified under CPV 85312500 for rehabilitation services. Delivery is within HMP & YOI Parc Prison and involves working with the Health Board, the prison environment and relevant clinical and support partners.

The procurement has been awarded through Direct Award Process 2 under the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025. G4S Care and Justice Services (UK) Limited was selected as the supplier, with one bid recorded and no SME bids. The contract was signed on 14 April 2026 for £1,938,343.44 excluding any unspecified tax treatment. The intended contract period is 16 September 2026 to 15 September 2027, with an option to extend for two further 12-month periods. The award assessment used pass/fail criteria covering quality, value, collaboration and service sustainability, improving access and reducing health inequalities, and social responsibility. Staff must have the right to work in the UK, appropriate indemnity insurance, required vetting, mandatory safeguarding training and the correct security clearance.

This award demonstrates demand for a specialist prison-based substance misuse provider able to deliver psychosocial treatment for both adults and young people, including assessment, stabilisation and assisted withdrawal. A credible future competitor would need strong clinical governance, suitable technical and professional capability, and evidence of delivering consistent, high-quality treatment and support. The requirement places particular emphasis on continuity of care, established therapeutic relationships, multidisciplinary collaboration, service sustainability, equitable access and improved health outcomes. Suppliers would also need capacity to operate securely within a prison, comply with Detention Service Orders and Instructions, and provide staff with the required qualifications, safeguarding training, professional registration, insurance, vetting and security clearances. Experience of partnership working with health services and custodial settings would be directly relevant.

The purpose of the service is to provide psychosocial interventions to prisoners and children within HMP & YOI Parc Prison.

This notice constitutes an Intention to Award Notice and confirms the commissioner's intention to award a contract following the application of Direct Award Process 2 under the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations. Direct Award Process 2 has been considered the most appropriate procurement process for this requirement, as the term of the existing contract is due to expire and the commissioner has proposed a new contract to replace the existing contract at the end of its term.

Publication of this Intention to Award Notice commences the standstill period in accordance with the applicable regulations. No contract will be entered into before the end of the standstill period.
