Summary of the contracting process

Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust procured sexual health services for HMP Wandsworth. The requirement covers health services delivered within a prison environment, with an additional community health services classification. The work is intended to provide sexual health provision to people held at the prison, rather than general healthcare across the wider estate. HMP Wandsworth is in London, and the buying organisation is Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust, a public health body based in Dartford. This opportunity is relevant to healthcare providers with experience of sexual health delivery, clinical governance and operating safely in a custodial setting. It is a service requirement, not a goods supply or construction project, and concerns a single defined service package for the prison.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage and the tender is recorded as complete. Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust awarded the contract to St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust on 28 July 2026 under the Provider Selection Regime’s direct award process C, following a limited procedure without a prior call for competition. The contract value is £364,651 (GBP) for 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2033. The contract record is active and gives a signing date of 1 June 2026. Price was the stated award criterion, and one bid was recorded. The underlying lot is marked cancelled, but the published award and active contract confirm the outcome. The award was made under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need to deliver sexual health services reliably inside a prison, while meeting the clinical, safeguarding and operational controls expected of an NHS healthcare environment. Relevant experience would include managing confidential patient care, coordinating with custodial staff and wider health services, and maintaining continuity for a defined prison population. The selected provider is an NHS foundation trust and the procurement rationale refers to an existing provider, indicating that established delivery capability and service continuity were important in this route to award. Providers competing next time should be able to evidence qualified clinical teams, robust governance, safe information handling and the capacity to sustain a dedicated service at HMP Wandsworth.
