Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process detailed is a modification for the "Prison Healthcare Services" contract initially awarded by NHS England, specifically in the London Region. This contract pertains to health services provided at HMP Belmarsh and HMP Thameside, classified under the CPV industry category 85100000. The meticulous adjustment was necessary due to unforeseen circumstances impacting the prison's healthcare service capacity, and it now extends to potentially seven years with a value increase effective from April 2026. Delivered under the Provider Selection Regime, the adjustment aligns with needs identified by NHS England due to increasing prison receptions and pressures. The location for the services is within the UKI region, with the contract's formal modification announcement dated 28 November 2025.

This contract presents significant business opportunities, particularly for large enterprises that specialise in healthcare service provision, like the Practice Plus Group, already a successful supplier. Companies with robust experience in managing expansive health service deployments, particularly those that can integrate functionality aligned with national funding provisions and healthcare staffing logistics, would find this tender appealing. The opportunity for a long-term engagement and the increased contract value from 2026 further incentivise participation from businesses capable of scale and flexibility in service delivery under regulatory health frameworks.

The modification does not alter the overall nature of the original contract. HMP Thameside increased capacity to directly support the increase of receptions into the prison due to prison pressures across the London Region. There is to remain an increase of remand function for this prison which has a direct impact on healthcare provider.
