## Summary

The West Yorkshire Police is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Healthcare in Custody," aimed at providing healthcare services to detainees and conducting forensic assessments when needed. This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is set to commence on 26th September 2026, concluding on 25th September 2030. It is a regional initiative involving West Yorkshire Police, South Yorkshire Police, and Humberside Police, with discussions ongoing about whether to maintain it as a collaborative contract or separate it into three single-force agreements.
