This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). It is especially suited for businesses specialising in health services, educational program development, or those with expertise in engaging with detained populations. The multi-phase project involves creating tailored vaccination learning programmes, offering growth potential for businesses adept in collaborative healthcare solutions. Companies with experience in health education or services within secure environments may find this opportunity particularly advantageous. ## Notice mprove vaccination uptake in secure and detained estate settings The project aims to increase vaccination literacy in secure and detained estate settings including adult prisons, immigration removal centres (IRCs), Children and Young People Secure Estates, in order to improve uptake of key vaccinations amongst these populations. Review of Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNAs) conducted across local authorities (Norfolk, Southwark, Wakefield, Surrey and East Essex) identified lack of knowledge amongst staff, prisoners, asylum seekers and children as a key barrier to vaccination and screening uptake in detained estate settings. Adults and children across secure and detained settings experience greater health problems than the rest of the population. Individuals within prisons are more likely to experience additional healthcare needs, such as neurodevelopmental disorders, substance misuse and mental health disorders. Recent UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) research highlights that asylum seekers are open to screenings and vaccinations when provided with clear, accessible information on health protection and options available. Subject matter experts have highlighted a lack of national accessible and appropriate learning resources on vaccinations for people living and working in secure and detained estates. The proposed multi-phase project will develop five bespoke vaccination learning programmes, tailored to specific cohorts: adult men, adult women, children, healthcare staff, operational staff). The project involves five phases: review of existing material, engagement with staff and prisoners/children, design learning programme, implementation and evaluation. The specification detailing the requirements within each of these phases, has been developed with close partnerships with a supportive steering group made up of SMEs with representation from over 10 different organisations working with the secure and detained estates to improve healthcare. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6d8b7fe2-13d8-41ea-bad5-f5d2e165e8a2 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Jul 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 2 Jul 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2025 - 30 Apr 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £60,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS ENGLAND | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 4AP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Hunslet & Riverside | | Westminster constituency | Leeds South | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 16 Jul 2025 at 15:03 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6d8b7fe2-13d8-41ea-bad5-f5d2e165e8a2 - 2 Jul 2025 at 15:07 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8d4a3bc-5064-4e22-8e01-e60155ddfdac - 2 Jul 2025 at 14:56 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a3dcb4ce-910d-4c10-895f-b8f34a7da86c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6d8b7fe2-13d8-41ea-bad5-f5d2e165e8a2 16th July 2025 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8d4a3bc-5064-4e22-8e01-e60155ddfdac 2nd July 2025 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a3dcb4ce-910d-4c10-895f-b8f34a7da86c 2nd July 2025 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/11bc2ce2-f293-4139-bc8e-c9e3cbacf823 NHS-Terms-and-Conditions-for-the-Provision-of-Services-PO-version - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a81f7d36-056d-45f3-b595-d502951f37c3 NHS-Terms-and-Conditions-for-the-Provision-of-Services-PO-version - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/50c48fbc-3121-4ad8-83cd-7cc3e7e8eccd NHS-Terms-and-Conditions-for-the-Provision-of-Services-PO-version ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
