Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England, through its London Region, procured healthcare services for HMP Brixton. The requirement is prison healthcare delivered at the Brixton establishment in London, covering safe and high-quality clinical provision. It is a health services contract rather than a goods supply or construction project. The named authority is NHS England, with NHS England London involved in the review process. The selected provider is Practice Plus Group Health and Rehabilitation Services Limited. The requirement is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, which govern the provider selection approach for this healthcare service. The procurement is categorised as health services under CPV 85100000 and concerns a single prison healthcare requirement.

The process is recorded as complete and the contract was awarded to Practice Plus Group Health and Rehabilitation Services Limited. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026, at a value of £9,807,920, for 12 months from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with no extension option. NHS England used the Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process C, an award without prior publication of a competition notice. The assessment weighted improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice at 30%; quality and innovation, value, and integration, collaboration and service sustainability at 20% each; and social value at 10%. The procurement record also marks the lot as cancelled, while the award and contract records show an active selected provider and contract. Representations were due by 26 August 2026.

This requirement is relevant to established healthcare providers able to deliver prison healthcare safely and consistently in a custodial setting. A credible future competitor would need clinical capability across the services required at HMP Brixton, robust quality and innovation processes, and the operational capacity to maintain provision throughout a full contract term. The assessment shows that NHS England values measurable improvement in access and health inequalities, effective integration and collaboration with other services, sustainable delivery, value for money and social value. Providers would therefore need evidence of partnership working, service continuity, quality assurance, inclusion-focused access and community benefit. The selected supplier passed the basic selection and exclusion checks and met the required standard against all five criteria.
