## Summary

The procurement process initiated by NHS England, headquartered in Leeds, aims to enhance Health & Social Care Needs Assessments (HSCNA) and Equality & Health Inequalities Impact Assessments (EHIA) within Health and Justice services across the South East of England. Specifically targeted at Lansdowne Secure Children's Home and HMPYOI Aylesbury, this procurement is designated as a below-threshold Request for Quotation (RFQ) following a limited competition methodology to ensure value for money. The process was organised in two lots with a total awarded contract value of £14,500 per lot, commencing services in December 2025 and concluding in April 2026. Structured under the Procurement Act 2023, the tender falls within the administrative healthcare services category.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses experienced in healthcare assessments and specialising in qualitative research and data analysis specific to secure environments. Companies like S Squared Analytics Limited with the capacity and SMEs familiar with adult categories and juvenile settings will find this tender particularly advantageous due to the distinct approaches required for Lansdowne and Aylesbury. Businesses competent in leveraging existing data and conducting interviews in sensitive settings can tap into the strategic domain of health needs and inequalities analyses, fulfilling obligations under the Public Sector Equality Duty while aiding the government's strategic healthcare goals.

## Notice

NHS England South East (the Commissioner) sought to commission a Provider(s) with the capability and capacity to deliver Health & Social Care Needs Assessments (HSCNA) and Equality & Health Inequalities Impact Assessments (EHIA) into Health and Justice services across the South East. NHS England health and Justice is required to complete HNAs and EHIAs regularly to: * Ensure services meet the needs of specific populations in secure environments and communities. * Support strategic goals aligned with government policy and partner organisations. * Fulfil legal obligations under the Public Sector Equality Duty (Equality Act 2010, section 149(1)) and health inequalities duties (NHS Act 2006, section 13G). Two secure settings require updated assessments: * Lansdowne Secure Children's Home: Closed for 10 months (2023-2024) and requires a full HNA and EHIA. * HMPYOI Aylesbury: Reconfigured in 2022 from a Young Offender Institution to an adult Category C Trainer prison. A brief HNA was completed in 2023, but a comprehensive assessment is still needed. Distinct approaches are required: * Children's Home: Small population (typically 5-10 children aged 13-17), requiring a qualitative approach with interviews and consultations. * HMPYOI Aylesbury: Larger population (~400 men), requiring a provider experienced in adult secure settings and capable of leveraging existing data. This process was a below threshold Request for Quotation (RFQ), utilising a 3 quote process to ensure value for money. Three potential suppliers were invited to participate in the RFQ in a competitive procurement process. The procurement was structured into 2 lots: * Lot 1: Aylesbury * Lot 2: Lansdowne The awarded contracts have an initial term of 4 months. Services are anticipated to commence in December. The total awarded value is PS14,500 per lot. The services procured through this tender process were in accordance with the rules on regulated below-threshold contracts in sections 84 - 88 of the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23).
