Currently in the tender update stage, the procurement follows a Competitive Flexible Procedure, with a legal basis under UKPGA 2023/54. The process encompasses services essential to public health, with a total value of approximately £38.4 million GBP. Potential suppliers must submit their tender by 28th April 2026, with key dialogue meetings scheduled for 21st and 22nd May 2026. The procurement will be executed through the Bluelight Electronic Tendering Portal, ensuring electronic submissions are permitted and communication is maintained through updated supplier profiles. This procurement presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in health services, especially those familiar with custodial environments. The single contractor delivering services for both policing regions will benefit from significant business growth potential due to the collaborative nature across two major police forces. Enterprises with expertise in forensic and healthcare services are well-positioned to compete, especially if they demonstrate strong quality control, social value contributions, and competitive pricing. Businesses should ensure robust compliance with the tender's procurement pack to advance through the detailed evaluation stages and possibly extend their contract duration by up to five years beyond 2032, if successful. ## Notice South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) for and on behalf of itself and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside (PCC) are procuring a Healthcare and Forensic Service in Custody, for South Yorkshire Police (SYP) and Humberside Police (HP). The procurement will be conducted in accordance with PA23 under the Competitive Flexible Procedure. This requirement is for a collaborative contract for the two forces, with SYP as the lead force and SYMCA as the contracting authority, for services to be delivered by a single contractor. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: Provision to extend for up to a maximum of a further 5 years. ### Planning Information Market Engagement Questionnaire ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037604-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Apr 2026 | | Submission deadline | 28 Apr 2026 | | Future notice date | 28 Feb 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 26 Jan 2027 - 25 Jan 2032 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £32,000,000 | | Lots value | £32,000,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOUTH YORKSHIRE MAYORAL COMBINED AUTHORITY | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 2BQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | TLE1 East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire, TLE3 South Yorkshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 24 Apr 2026 at 12:41 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037604-2026 - 17 Apr 2026 at 12:05 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/035181-2026 - 2 Mar 2026 at 14:40 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018528-2026 - 11 Dec 2025 at 09:40 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/081767-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037604-2026 24th April 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/035181-2026 17th April 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018528-2026 2nd March 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/081767-2025 11th December 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://www.in-tend.co.uk - http://www.intend - https://sell2.in-tend.co.uk/blpd/home - https://sell2.intend - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
