Summary of the contracting process

Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust procured GP services at HMP Wandsworth, delivered within a prison environment. The requirement is a healthcare service, with a community health services element, supporting primary medical care for people held at the prison. The buyer is a public NHS foundation trust based in Dartford, and the service location is HMP Wandsworth in London. The procurement concerns service delivery rather than the supply of medical goods or construction works. It is therefore relevant to organisations providing general practice, primary care or wider community healthcare services in secure or custodial settings, particularly those able to operate within the governance, safeguarding and clinical requirements of a prison environment. The selected provider is a specialist prison healthcare organisation classified as an SME.

The procurement is complete and the contract was formally awarded on 8 July 2026 to South London Prison Service LLP under the Provider Selection Regime’s direct award process C. The procedure was a limited award without prior publication of a competition, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 rather than the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The award followed an intention-to-award process with representations due by 21 July 2026. Price was the stated evaluation criterion. The awarded contract value is £3,078,551 for the period from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2033. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and is active. One provider was recorded for the requirement.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust for GP provision in a custodial setting, delivered through the Provider Selection Regime rather than a conventional open competition. A credible future competitor would need an established primary care operation, clinicians able to provide general practice within a prison, and the governance systems required for safe healthcare in a secure environment. Experience of working with prison populations, custodial procedures, safeguarding, multidisciplinary healthcare teams and NHS commissioners would strengthen its position. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that delivery at this scale can be undertaken by a focused specialist provider rather than only a large national organisation. Organisations monitoring this buyer should therefore develop evidence of reliable clinical delivery, secure-site mobilisation and community healthcare capability.
