## Summary

The NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit is seeking to recommission Mental Health and Learning Disability services for HMP/YOI Bronzefield, a women's prison located in Ashford, Surrey. This procurement is currently in the awarding stage, following an open tender process initiated on 18 August 2017, with a tender submission deadline of 28 September 2017. The contract, valued at approximately £826,000 annually, is set to commence on 1 April 2018 and will last for three years, with a potential two-year extension.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare sector, specifically those specialising in mental health and learning disability services. Companies that can deliver comprehensive, integrated care models and have experience working within correctional settings or with diverse patient populations will be particularly well-positioned to compete. The emphasis on flexibility and responsiveness to patient needs aligns with the capabilities of SMEs in the healthcare industry, making it an attractive opportunity for smaller enterprises looking to expand their portfolio in public contracts.

## Notice

NHS England Health & Justice South (South East) wishes to recommission Mental Health and Learning Disability services at HMP/YOI Bronzefield, a closed women's local prison in Ashford, Surrey. The prison has an operational capacity of 572, and accommodates a highly complex and varied population that consists of mothers and babies, young offenders, life and long term sentenced women, short to mid-term sentenced women, foreign nationals and women on remand. Since the closure of HMP Holloway in June 2016, HMP/YOI Bronzefield is now one of the largest women's prisons in Europe. The mental health service will deliver a fully integrated and comprehensive mental health service to all patients (including those with a learning disability and / or personality disorder) based on careful and systematic assessment of need. The service will take the form of an integrated stepped care model for mental health which will enable patients to flow seamlessly between mild to moderate and severe and enduring stages, based on clinical need and risk at different points in time. The mental health team will deliver a service model with the flexibility to react to, and support, the patient's continuum of need. The maximum annual contract value will be PS826,000 (PS1,025,000 in year 1). The contract duration will be three years (with the option to extend by up to a further two years), due to commence on 01/04/18. Commissioners will not be liable for costs incurred by any interested party in participating in this process. Interested parties who wish to take part in the procurement are invited to take part in an Invitation To Tender (ITT) process, based on the Open procedure and designed to identify the Most Economically Advantageous Tender and therefore determine the incoming provider.

Additional information: The Services are healthcare services within the meaning and scope of Annex XIV of Directive 2014/24/EU ("the Directive") and Schedule 3 to the Public Contract Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations").
