The contract, facilitated by the NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit, is set in the healthcare industry, with an estimated value between £10,000 and £12,000 per report. The submission deadline for bids is 17 June 2015, with a contract period commencing on 1 July 2015 and concluding on 9 September 2015. The services required are to help inform health service provisions and enhance health and social care in these specific settings, primarily located in the East of England. This tender presents a commendable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in health services and assessments. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in health needs assessments, particularly in correctional and community settings, would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The focus on integrated health and social care, alongside the requirement for evidence-based recommendations, creates avenues for innovative service providers to engage and ensure comprehensive health support for vulnerable populations. ## Notice NHS England wishes to commission health needs assessments for the healthcare service in some prisons, in police custody, and for 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, 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 will assume responsibility for social care needs in prison. The HNAs must include a section on social care needs and how they can be integrated with the delivery of healthcare. The value of the contract is between PS10 to PS12k per report. NHS England is inviting organisations to bid for this opportunity by submitting an ITT by 17 June 2105.
