The procurement process was conducted through an open procedure, and has been finalised as of December 24, 2021. The contracts will begin on April 1, 2022, with a duration of 7 years.

The maximum total contract values are £110,201,056 for Lot 1 and £39,897,249 for Lot 2.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with capabilities in primary care nursing, mental health services, and allied healthcare services, as subcontracting is permitted.

The engagement in this multi-faceted healthcare initiative within the prison system enables potential growth through collaboration and service expansion into other public healthcare contracts.
