Summary of the contracting process

Wakefield Council is overseeing the procurement process for the provision of care and support services at HMP Wakefield and HMP New Hall. The tender, classified under 'Health and social work services', is currently active, targeting services within the region UKE45. This opportunity is split into two lots, allowing bids for either or both HMP Wakefield, a Category A high-security prison, and HMP New Hall, a closed women's prison. Services at HMP Wakefield will commence from 1st April 2025, and at HMP New Hall from 1st September 2025; both contracts run until 31st March 2031, with potential extensions until 2034. The procurement follows an open procedure, with electronic submission required by 16th December 2024. Prospective suppliers will be evaluated on both quality and social value, with bidding details available from Wakefield Council's platforms.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those with experience in high-security environments. Suppliers specialising in rehabilitation services and care provision could benefit from long-term contracts to enhance growth. The scale of service provision requires capability to deliver consistent care support aligned with the Care Act 2014 mandates. Businesses with the ability to maintain high-quality standards and social value impact will be well-suited to bid successfully, contributing to both the welfare of prisoners and the broader community goals of Wakefield Council.
