Currently in the planning stage, this tender process is designed to gather expressions of interest from potential providers capable of delivering integrated primary healthcare services, with the contract anticipated to begin on 1st September 2021. Interested parties must submit their responses by 12 noon on 20th August 2020, after which further details about a virtual engagement session scheduled for 3rd September 2020 will be communicated to those who express interest. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those experienced in delivering comprehensive and integrated care models within the correctional or immigration context. Organisations providing primary medical services, mental health support, and substance misuse treatments will be well-suited to compete. With a potential contract value of around £3 million per annum, this initiative is particularly relevant for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their service offerings in a challenging yet critical sector. ## Notice NHS England and NHS Improvement South East requests Expressions of Interest from providers with the capacity and capability to provide an outcome focused, integrated primary healthcare service, equivalent to that available to the local community, for Gatwick IRC. The service will deliver a comprehensive range of services in-house, to include physical health, mental health and substance misuse services. The contract is due to begin on 1st September 2021. Potential providers will be able to give feedback on contract duration options as part of this process. The maximum contract value is to be finalised, but is anticipated to be in the region of PS3 million per annum. NHS England will commission a prime provider model for prison healthcare services, in order to support integrated, patient centred care across the full range of service specialties required to manage the complex healthcare needs of those in the IRC setting. NHS England will hold a contract with the prime provider, who in turn can directly provide care and/or subcontract care to other specialist providers. The prime provider will be responsible for ensuring that all healthcare services operating within the IRC work in an integrated way, delivering seamless care pathways. Gatwick IRC provides primary medical services to people who are detained whilst awaiting deportation from the United Kingdom. The IRC has two sites closely located: Brook House and Tinsley House. Brook House has an operational capacity of 448. It has a robust secure physical environment including a Segregation Unit and holds a male population, many with complex needs. Tinsley House has an operational capacity of 162 and holds predominantly young men, although children and women are also detained in its family unit, which has a capacity of 16. Both Brook House and Tinsley House have a high turnover of arrivals and departures each month. It is recognised that this is a significant time of change and transition in terms of NHSE/I commissioning pathways, the Home Office review of detention enforcement policies, and the impact of COVID-19, all of which require excellent partnership working. The services included in the contract are: * GP Provision * Primary Care Nursing and Admin service * Pharmacy Services (including mechanism for OOH provision) * Substance Misuse Services * Reception and transfer screening * Rule 34 and 35 assessment * Public health testing and screening * Optometry * Physiotherapy * Podiatry * Primary and Secondary Mental Health and Learning Disability Services * Sexual Health Services * Health Promotion and Prevention * Dental services (no dental suite on site) * Continuity of care including discharge planning and delivery of the RECONNECT programme * Application of Detention Service Orders as they relate to health provision. NHS England and the local authority are also exploring options for integrating social care provision. Additional information: NHS England and NHS Improvement intend to conduct a virtual market engagement session with potential prime providers, currently expected to take place during the afternoon of 3rd September 2020 and taking the form of a briefing and Q&A opportunity. Prime providers will be able to gain further understanding of the Commissioner's intentions around service requirements and procurement / contracting strategy. Further details of the event including joining instructions and final timings will be provided to those potential prime providers who express an interest, once the PIN has closed. If you are interested in this opportunity, please complete the provider market engagement questionnaire attached to this notice and return via the In-Tend eProcurement system (details at the end of this notice). Please return by 12 noon on 20th August 2020. This exercise is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners. This notice is an information gathering exercise rather than a call for competition in its own right, and therefore publication or response does not commit NHS England and NHS Improvement or respondents to a future procurement or to any award of contracts, nor provide any process exemptions or preferential treatment to any parties expressing an interest. Interested providers will be able to view the provider market event opportunity via the 'current tenders' list on the e-procurement system In-Tend: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/scwcsu/aspx/Home If you are not already registered on the system you will need to do so before you can fully access the opportunity and return your questionnaire. On registration, please include at least two contacts to allow for access to the system in times of absence. The procurement exercise will be undertaken with potential prime providers, but specialist providers of the services being commissioned may also respond to this notice if they would like Commissioners to pass their contact details on to potential prime providers. Please ensure that you indicate in your response whether your organisation is expressing an interest as a potential prime provider or specialist provider, in order for your details to be passed on as a potential sub-contractor if applicable. The services are healthcare services falling within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations") which are not subject to the full regime of the Regulations, but instead governed by the "Light Touch Regime" contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Regulations (Regulations 74 to 77). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/60e6a241-2dae-4437-ba2d-ba63dcbcdd72 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Jul 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 20 Aug 2020 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS SOUTH, CENTRAL AND WEST COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS1 3NX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK51 Bristol, City of | | Local authority | Bristol, City of | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Bristol Central | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 24 Jul 2020 at 11:11 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/60e6a241-2dae-4437-ba2d-ba63dcbcdd72 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/60e6a241-2dae-4437-ba2d-ba63dcbcdd72 24th July 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a24698f6-0589-462b-9cfe-e852e6c3128e Market Engagement Questionnaire - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/scwcsu/aspx/Home In-Tend Link ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
