## Summary

NHS England and NHS Improvement South-East are currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for integrated healthcare services for Isle of Wight prisons, specifically HMP Parkhurst and HMP Albany. This market engagement aims to invite expressions of interest from qualified providers, with a key engagement deadline set for 7th February 2022. The contract is expected to commence on 1st April 2023, with an estimated annual value of £6.7 million. The focus will be on a range of healthcare services, which fall under the Health and Social Work Services category within the CPV classification.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those experienced in providing integrated services in prison environments. Suitable candidates include private healthcare providers, NHS organisations, and third sector or social enterprise organisations capable of addressing diverse health needs—from primary care and mental health services to substance misuse treatment. Engaging in this market can foster growth through partnerships and enhance service delivery, particularly for those who can effectively collaborate within a complex environment involving multiple healthcare services across the prison and community interface.

## Notice

This notice is placed as a Prior Information Notice in relation to a pre-procurement market engagement event, 1:1 meetings and a market questionnaire. NHS England and NHS Improvement South (South East) (the Commissioner) invites expressions of interest (EOI) from suitably qualified and experienced Prime Providers, including third sector and social enterprise organisations, private and NHS organisations, to provide integrated healthcare services including pharmacy, mental health and substance misuse to the Isle of Wight prisons - HMP Parkhurst & HMP Albany. NHSE/I will commission a Prime Provider model for the provision of services and will hold a contract with the prime provider, who in turn can directly provide care and/or subcontract care to other specialist providers. The indicative date for the contract to commence is 1st April 2023. The annual contract value is expected to be in the region of PS6.7million. This service will be commissioned as part of the overall Offender Health pathway within the prisons and as such this model will ensure an integrated, recovery orientated service delivery system, both within the prisons and onwards into the community. The service will focus on delivering person-centred care within seamless, integrated structured clinical and psychosocial interventions services in prison, and facilitating arrangements through the gate into the community to ensure effective continuity of care. Close joint working with other healthcare services, as well as other departments within the prison is imperative. The service model will likely encompass the following services (but not limited to): - * General Practitioners provision * Primary Care Nursing (including long term conditions) * Dental services * Pharmacy Services (including OOH provision) * Inpatient Unit facility (HMP Albany) * Substance Misuse Services * Primary and Secondary Mental Health and Learning Disability Services * Public health programmes including Health Promotion and Prevention * Musculoskeletal therapies * Smoking cessation * Blood Born Viruses testing to include funding, access and delivery (including provision of testing facilities where necessary) * Consultant-led pain management clinics * Therapies / clinics (including but not limited to) * Dietetics * Weight management * Optometry * Physiotherapy * Podiatry * Audiology * Memory Clinics / Dementia Pathway * Personality Disorder * Occupational Therapy * Speech and Language Therapy * Talking Therapies and counselling * Access to external community services * Sexual Health screening - Tiers (1 and 2) * Social Care (subject to future co-commissioning arrangements with Local Authorities) * Appropriate administrative and data management support The provider will also be responsible for ensuring effective and meaningful pathways of care are established with secondary care/diagnostics and other services outside of this specification, including hospital-based services, to meet patient's health needs. Additional information: This process is being managed by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners. Those interested in delivering the service should complete the online market engagement questionnaire, including any organisations who consider themselves to be potential sub-contractors to the service and would like their details to be shared with potential prime providers. Following market questionnaire submissions, NHSE/I South East intends to engage directly with potential prime providers, who will be invited to attend a virtual market engagement event, expected to take place 18th February 2022. Further details of the event, including joining instructions, will be provided once the PIN has closed, to those providers who express an interest and complete the market engagement questionnaire. Following this event, there will be the opportunity for potential prime providers to meet 1:1 with Commissioners to further develop understanding of the opportunities and barriers to providing these services in the establishments described and to discuss their questionnaire responses, along with the procurement in general. These are expected to take place week commencing 28th February 2022. To encourage networking, and with consent, all contact details of prime providers and sub-contractors who complete the market questionnaire will be shared via the procurement portal. Providers who wish to express their interest and complete the questionnaire will need to register on the e-procurement system, In-Tend, available on the following link: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/scwcsu/aspx/Home The questionnaire can be accessed via the 'current tenders' list on In-Tend, listed as 'WA12138/ME: Integrated Healthcare Services to Isle of Wight Prisons for NHS England and NHS Improvement South East', select 'express an interest' and then 'opt in'.
