The service provides embedded, mobile fully qualified, trained healthcare professionals to the 6/7 custody suites in the TVP area to assess, treat & signpost Detainees to ensure fitness for detention/charging & needs to fully integrate with NHS, social care & voluntary sector providers of health & social support.

Current contract expires 31 May 24 with no further options for extension. Justification is; Due to operational & resourcing constraints faced both internally within the stakeholder dept, Criminal Justice (CJ) & externally with partnering agencies, incl NHSE Commissioning who are assisting with essential elements of medical/clinical input, along with the volatility of the medical staffing market (circa 50,000 nursing vacancies) CJ & NHSE are unable to provide dedicated resource to the re-tendering process & the potential workload involved in the mobilisation/implementation for any new provider for this service at the current time. CJ & NHSE pipelines indicate resource will be available Apr 24. To undertake effective re-procurement of our custody healthcare provision TVP will benefit from knowing the outcome of the ongoing NHSE re-procurement of our L&D service, to understand exactly what this provision will deliver in the future & what healthcare capability TVP therefore needs to commission. From a value for money perspective, this delay will also reduce the risk of over-commissioning services that may be provided through the L&D contract. Formal tender process planned to commence mid-24 to award a new contract in Jun 25. A 30 day standstill period applies from the date of publication of this VEAT notice, during which time the Authority will not enter into any new contractual arrangements.
