Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust procured Family and Carer Involvement Services for HMP Wandsworth. The requirement is a health service delivered within a prison environment, supporting the involvement of prisoners’ families and carers. It is also classified as a community action programme, indicating a community-facing support element alongside the health service. The named buyer is Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust, and the service is associated with HMP Wandsworth in the United Kingdom. This opportunity is relevant to organisations providing family support, carer engagement, prisoner-family liaison or related community and health services in custodial settings. The requirement is for an ongoing service rather than goods, construction or a general facilities-management contract.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the tender is complete. Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, under the Provider Selection Regime and its direct award process C. The contract was formally awarded to Prison Advice and Care Trust on 28 July 2026. The award is active and the contract is recorded as signed on 1 June 2026. Its value is £322,000, covering 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2033. The stated award criterion was price. One bid was recorded. The requirement was presented as an intention to award to an existing provider, subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, rather than through an open competitive tender.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a sustained requirement for family and carer involvement services within HMP Wandsworth. A credible future competitor would need experience delivering structured support in a prison environment, engaging prisoners’ families and carers, and operating effectively across health, community and custodial-service boundaries. Providers should be able to demonstrate dependable service delivery, appropriate safeguarding and communication arrangements, and the organisational capacity to maintain support over a multi-year contract. Experience of working with an NHS foundation trust or other public-sector commissioner would help a supplier show that it can meet governance, reporting and partnership expectations. The selected provider’s role also indicates that established delivery capability and continuity may be important when this requirement is next considered.
