## Summary

NHS England - North East and Yorkshire Health and Justice Team, in collaboration with North of England Commissioning Support (NECS), is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) for the procurement of health care services within the Yorkshire and Humber Female Secure Estate. The procurement, currently in the planning stage, covers health services classified under CPV code 85100000. It targets the provision of primary care services, including clinical substance misuse, and mental health services, covering learning disabilities, autism, and psychosocial substance misuse at HMP New Hall and HMP Askham Grange. Interested parties need to respond by 12 noon on Friday 13 December 2024, with a market engagement event scheduled for Tuesday 21 January 2025. All communications and document submissions will be handled via the Atamis e-tender portal.

This procurement provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services to expand their operations within the secure estate sector. The focus on female prisons opens a niche market that demands tailored healthcare solutions, thus being well-suited for providers with expertise in clinical substance misuse and mental health services. The structured engagement process, including the market engagement event, allows potential suppliers to interact directly with commissioners, understand service requirements deeply, and align their offerings with the specific needs of the contracting authority. Businesses equipped to handle TUPE applications and adept at navigating the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) will find this a favourable opportunity for business growth and portfolio diversification.
