Summary of the contracting process

Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust procured domiciliary care services for HMP Wandsworth, delivered in a prison environment. The requirement sits within health and social work services and concerns care provided to people living or held at the prison who require support in their own accommodation. The buyer is Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust, a public authority based in Dartford. The contract covers the whole requirement as a single lot. This is a specialist care opportunity rather than a general facilities or prison-management service: relevant providers are those able to organise and deliver domiciliary care safely within a custodial setting, while working with the NHS trust and the prison environment. The selected provider is CGL, a large organisation headquartered in Brighton.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 21 August 2026 to CGL through a direct award. The buyer stated that confirmation that the service was required as a commissioned service was received only in mid-August, and recorded urgency as the rationale for the route. The award value is £288,375 excluding tax, or £346,050 including tax. The contract period runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. One lot covered the full requirement and is complete. CGL’s award is active. A signature milestone was scheduled for 4 September 2026. The opportunity was above the relevant threshold. The published information identifies health and social work services as the relevant classification; no separate competitive evaluation basis is recorded because this was a direct award.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust for commissioned domiciliary care in a prison environment. The commercially relevant capability is the delivery of safe, dependable care to people requiring support inside a custodial establishment, rather than conventional community-only domiciliary care. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience managing care services in secure or highly controlled settings, the operational systems to coordinate staff and continuity of care, and the governance needed to work with an NHS foundation trust. The selected provider’s large organisational scale also indicates that the buyer accepted a supplier able to sustain a substantial, specialist service across the contract term. Providers should therefore evidence custodial-setting experience, health and social care competence, and capacity for reliable commissioned delivery.
