Summary of the contracting process

South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, acting for itself and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside, procured a single-provider healthcare and forensic service for people held in custody by South Yorkshire Police and Humberside Police. The work is a public health service, covering healthcare provision and forensic services in custody across South Yorkshire and Humberside. South Yorkshire Police is the lead force and the combined authority is the contracting authority. The requirement is collaborative and requires one contractor to deliver the service for both forces. It is therefore relevant to organisations with the clinical, forensic and operational capability to support custody healthcare across two police-force areas, rather than suppliers offering only general healthcare or separate, small-scale services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Partnering Health Limited. The award was made on 3 August 2026 and the contract was signed on 4 September 2026. The awarded value is £34,499,418.33 excluding VAT, or £41,399,302 including VAT. The contract runs from 26 January 2027 to 25 January 2032, with an option to extend for up to a further five years, to 25 January 2037. It used a competitive flexible procedure under the light-touch regime, with initial tenders followed by dialogue and best and final offers. Six valid final-stage bids were received. Evaluation weighted quality at 60%, social value at 10% and price at 30%, with economic and technical participation conditions applying.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from South Yorkshire and Humberside Police for an integrated custody healthcare and forensic provider operating at force-wide scale. A credible future competitor would need to combine clinical custody experience with forensic capability, robust delivery across both police areas and the capacity to act as a single contractor. The evaluation shows that quality and social value together carried substantially more weight than price, so suppliers would need strong service quality, evidence of social-value delivery and a commercially competitive model. Economic and technical conditions, mandatory compliance checks and due diligence were part of the route to award. The field included both specialist medical SMEs and large national healthcare or custody-service providers, indicating that credible capability can be demonstrated through different organisational scales.
