This procurement, classified under health and social work services, is at the tender stage, with submissions due by 12 noon on 16th October 2017. The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2018 and will span five years with a maximum value of £3,625,000. The selected service provider will be responsible for delivering a range of healthcare services, including primary care, mental health support, and substance misuse interventions, following the Light Touch Regime in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This tender opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with experience in secure environments and integrated care frameworks. Providers equipped to deliver mental health services, primary healthcare, and specialised youth care interventions will find themselves well-positioned to compete. Additionally, businesses able to navigate the complexities of delivering services in a secure children's setting, while adhering to organisational standards and collaborating with local authorities, will likely excel in this tender process. ## Notice NHS England South (South West) wishes to commission the delivery of Healthcare Services at Vinney Green Secure Children's Unit. Vinney Green is a 24 bed Youth Justice Board unit meaning it accepts young people from the courts. They will occasionally take children on a welfare order or under PACE (Police and Criminal Evidence). PACE allows for a young person to remain in custody awaiting a court appearance and is therefore only in the unit a matter of hours. Vinney Green is located in South Gloucestershire and is owned and run by the local authority. Education in the mainstay activity and health interventions need to work around this regime. As a secure home/school inspection falls to OFSTED rather than the CQC emphasising that the unit is not a healthcare environment. The service being commissioned includes: * Primary care * Mental health * Emotional wellbeing * Substance misuse * Infection prevention and control * Immunisations and vaccinations Dentistry is accessed through community appointments. Optometry is subcontracted through the local authority but is likely to be brought into the new contract. Speech and Language input is commissioned separately through Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). Services will be delivered in line with nationally mandated specifications: 1. Physical Health Care and Intervention 2. Substance Misuse 3. Emotional and mental Health within a Framework of Integrated Care (SECURE STAIRS) 4. Overarching Specification 5. Healthcare and Enabling specification that sets out the local authority management expectations The service will also be compliant with the Healthcare Standards for Children in Secure Settings. The maximum total contract value for the service will be PS3,625,000. The contract duration will be 5 years, due to commence on 1st April 2018 TUPE may apply.
