## Summary

The procurement process led by the Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust focuses on enhancing women's secure inpatient wards in collaboration with a Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) partner. This process, aligning with the NHS England Women's Secure Pathway Transformation Programme, is in the award stage with the Kyra Women's Project selected as the supplier. The tender covers the Health Services category (CPV 85100000) and is located in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. This pilot journey commenced from 1st June 2026 and will conclude by 31st May 2027, with a contract value of £134,300. The tender application period ended on 1st May 2026.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and VCSE organisations, by enabling participation in a transformative healthcare project which emphasizes gender-informed care and community reintegration. Enterprises specialising in health services, patient care transitions, or community engagement initiatives would find this procurement particularly beneficial, aligning their operations with the longstanding objectives of NHS service improvements and expanding their influence in the public sector health domain.

## Notice

The pilot directly supports the Humber and North Yorkshire (HNY) priority to enhance the women's secure pathway and is fully aligned with the NHS England Women's Secure Pathway Transformation (WSPT) Programme, which emphasises whole-pathway, gender-informed care, improved transitions, and sustainable community reintegration. Current pathways face challenges including delayed discharge, limited patient involvement, inconsistent transition planning, and weak early links to community and VCSE support.
