## Summary

NHS England is seeking proposals for the project titled "Health Needs Assessments for Adult Secure Settings in Surrey," aimed at assessing the health needs of individuals in five adult secure prisons across Surrey. The procurement process is being managed by the NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit, with a maximum contract value of £75,000. Interested bidders must submit their responses by Noon on 21st February 2019, while the contract is expected to commence on 1st April 2019 and runs until 24th June 2019. This procurement falls under the administrative healthcare services category, specifically targeting health and social work services in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in healthcare assessment and service delivery, particularly those with expertise in health needs analysis and related fields. Companies specialising in mental health, substance misuse, and general healthcare provision would be ideally suited to compete for this contract. The successful bidder will not only fulfil a critical service for NHS England but also enhance their reputation and relationships within the public healthcare sector, potentially leading to further contracts and partnerships in the future.

## Notice

NHS England seeks bids from providers who have the capability to deliver Health Needs Assessments (HNAs) for those in adult secure prisons in Surrey (HMP Send, HMP Coldingley, HMP Downview, HMP High Down and HMP Bronzefield). The needs assessments will explore the following: * Background geographical information, including key services, boundaries issues * General demographics of the offender and secure setting populations, with a particular focus on demographics which contribute to vulnerability (mental health, substance misuse, housing, unemployment, learning disability, physical health etc.) * Opportunities to segment the populations of the five estates in to different potential patient cohorts with shared and differing health needs. * Profile of health service provision in the area that is typically accessed by patients from Surrey adult secure settings including: primary and acute healthcare settings; mental health provision; specialist substance misuse provision and dental services. * Views of the service users on the quality and availability of healthcare in Surrey adult secure settings, including experience of assessment and delivery at the point of entry and release planning and management. * Information from Her Majesty's Prison & Probation Service (HMPPS) and other relevant criminal justice agencies on trends in type and volume of offences; typical sentence lengths of the populations at the five establishments. * Identify key relevant strategies that may impact on adult male and female secure settings populations. * Review and comparison of existing practice (provision of healthcare services in secure settings) regionally and nationally via relevant comparison data sets, for example, Health & Justice Indicators of Performance (HJIPS) data, current provider performance data; relevant available HMPPS data. * Identify best practice and opportunities for development of healthcare provision in Surrey adult secure settings. * Identify gaps in provision and inform future commissioning of services. * To investigate the full range of health needs and report on the epidemiology of health problems experienced by the men and women in each of the establishments compared to the general population and compared to offenders in similar establishments, with a specific focus on key health conditions within each prison. This will be determined from the data but likely to include: communicable disease (Sexually Transmitted Illnesses, TB, Hepatitis, and HIV), coronary heart disease and mental health (cross referencing with sections below). * Identify opportunities for improved health and social care integration and provisions to enable prisoners to live an independent and quality life. * Review escort and bed watch levels. Formulate recommendations for existing pathway improvements and opportunities for onsite care to reduce the need for external appointments. Additional information: The NHSE Health and Justice team has the commissioning responsibility for the healthcare services of adults in secure and detained settings. The focus for these HNAs is to outline the area profile of adult secure settings in Surrey in the context of both the local authority and the health landscapes for both adults and young people. As a result of the procurement, a single contract will be let to deliver five HNAs, with a maximum total contract value of PS75,000 including any applicable VAT. This procurement is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners.
