## Summary

The North of England Commissioning Support (NECS), acting on behalf of NHS England and NHS Improvement North West, has initiated a procurement process titled "Health and Justice Procurements for NHSE/I North West Health and Justice Team." This process is currently in the planning stage and focuses on health and social work services. The relevant services will be tendered in separate lots, with significant potential contract values, including £200,000 for dental services at HMP Liverpool and £5,350,000 for health and social care at HMP Liverpool. Providers can access Request for Information (RFI) documentation starting from 4 March 2021, with a deadline for submissions by 12 Noon on 26 March 2021, through the Intend Portal.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for healthcare providers, particularly those specialising in dental, mental health, and general health services within prison and secure children's home environments. Businesses with experience in delivering health and social care services in similar settings or those looking to expand their offerings in the prison healthcare sector would be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this market can help providers influence future service models based on their expertise, thereby positioning themselves favourably for potential contracts following this initial RFI stage.
