This contract falls within the Health and Social Work Services category and is located in the East of England. The procurement process is at the tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 28th February 2017. The contract period will commence on 7th March 2017 and span until 8th June 2017, with a maximum contract value of £15,000 plus VAT for each health needs assessment report required. This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in health and social care consulting, and those with expertise in conducting health needs assessments within correctional facilities or immigration centres. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as their insights and tailored approaches could align well with the commissioner's requirements to understand and address the specific health needs of diverse populations in these environments. ## Notice NHS England wishes to commission health and social care needs assessments for the healthcare service in some prisons and in an immigration removal centre. To commission effectively, it is essential that the commissioning cycle begins with a health needs assessment which examines the health needs of the establishment(s). This enables the commissioning team to understand disease prevalence, to identify services which respond to the health needs and to receive evidence-based recommendations for the services. The requirement is best practice in relation to commissioning, but is also mentioned in 'Expectations' (HMIP) in the section on governance: '32. Prisoners are cared for by a health service that accurately assesses and meets their health needs while in prison and which promotes continuity of health and social care on release. Indicators References * Health services are informed by the assessed needs of the prison population and are planned, provided and quality assured through integrated working between the prison and its local health economy.' In April 2015, local authorities assumed their responsibility for social care needs in prison. The HNAs must include a section on social care needs, how they are identified and how the provision of social care assessments and provision is measured, and how they can be integrated with the delivery of healthcare.
