The tender is open, with a submission deadline of 31st January 2019. The total contract value is £30,000, encompassing healthcare assessments for offenders in HMP Lewes and HMP Ford, targeting vulnerable populations and their specific health needs. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those with expertise in health assessments, prison healthcare, and social services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, as the procurement process has been designed to accommodate varied service providers. Organisations with experience in demographic analysis, healthcare service provision, or stakeholder engagement in secure settings would be well-positioned to compete for this contract, driving growth and potential partnerships within the public health arena. ## Notice NHS England seeks bids from providers who have the capability to deliver Health Needs Assessments (HNAs) for those in adult secure prisons in Sussex (HMP Lewes and HMP Ford).

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). * Broad-ranging involvement of key local stakeholders including Police; Courts; Users; Public Health and Justice department.
