This initiative falls under the health services industry category, specifically targeting health and psychiatry or psychology services, and is set to commence in 2027. The service will be located in the United Kingdom, particularly within HMP YOI Low Newton. Key dates include a market engagement deadline scheduled for 24th August 2026. This procurement is part of the Offender Personality Disorder Pathway, aiming to provide treatment and support services to individuals with complex mental health needs associated with offending behaviours. The current effort is aimed at gathering market insight to inform the procurement specification and approach. This tender offers excellent growth avenues for businesses specialised in psychiatric and psychological services, particularly those experienced in working within prison systems or with complex mental health cases. Suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, the procurement process is designed to be accessible and inclusive. Participation in the tender opens opportunities for suppliers to influence the requirements and gain a foothold in a niche market with the potential for a five-year contract. This presents a unique chance for businesses to contribute positively to public health and safety through rehabilitative services, enhancing their portfolio and expanding their reach in the government services sector. ## Notice Launched in 2011, the Offender Personality Disorder Pathway (OPD) is a jointly funded partnership between HMPPS and the NHS in England and Wales. It is a long-term change programme that commissions treatment and support services nationally for individuals with some of the most complex mental health needs linked to their offending. Whilst a diagnosis is not required to access services, these needs are characterised as a 'personality disorder'. Services for people within scope are delivered across prisons, Adult Secure Mental Health Services, and community settings. The OPD is not a single service, but a connected system of interventions, activities, training, and staff support. The OPD Pathway plans to commission a clinical provider for a non-residential OPD intervention service for women in HMP YOI Low Newton. Operating in partnership with HMPPS, the service will provide one of the progressive steps along the pathway for women who present the highest/ most immediate risk of serious harm to others and have the most complex needs who screen into the OPD Pathway. The service is currently commissioned through a service level agreement (SLA) that was established prior to the formal development of the OPD programme. The service in question, currently delivered by an NHS Trust and known as the Primrose Service, will engage with up to 12 women on a static basis at any one time, and a smaller number on a dynamic basis (likely to be around 5 maximum). This is not a residential provision however the women are accommodated together on a specific wing at the prison to provide a psychologically safe milieu during their time in the OPD service. The static provision involves a day treatment model delivered at a specific location in the establishment. The dynamic spaces are in place for outreach work delivered to women on other locations in the prison who either need stabilisation, preparation for access to the static service, or post-intervention work. Pathway Outcomes: The service should work towards the 4 high level aims of the OPD Pathway, and the treatment service will have additional specific features. Further detail can be found in the Service Overview Document which can be provided by emailing MoJProcurement.Off@justice.gov.uk The proposal is to award a five year contract, subject to ongoing funding. We are seeking input from interested suppliers to respond to market engagement questions, to help the Authority better understand market appetite, capacity and capability for this requirement. The feedback received will also inform the development of the specification and overall procurement approach. Please note that this is the first stage of engagement; a further round of market engagement is planned, during which the Authority intends to share the draft specification for additional supplier input, with the opportunity for questions and deeper discussion. ### Planning Information The market engagement process will be delivered in two stages. The first stage will consist of an MS Forms questionnaire to gather initial insights on market appetite, capability, and key considerations. To participate, please email MoJProcurement.Off@justice.gov.uk to be provided with the link and to be send supplementary reading material, designed to give suppliers an understanding of the service. This will be followed by a second phase of market engagement, during which the Authority intends to share the draft specification and provide suppliers with the opportunity to ask questions and provide further feedback. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/064611-2026 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Jul 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Dec 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2027 - 31 Aug 2032 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF JUSTICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 9AJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services - 85121270 - Psychiatrist or psychologist services ## Release History - 9 Jul 2026 at 10:34 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/064611-2026 - 22 May 2026 at 13:12 - PlanningUpdate - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/047952-2026 - 22 May 2026 at 12:22 - Planning - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/047865-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/064611-2026 9th July 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/047952-2026 22nd May 2026 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/047865-2026 22nd May 2026 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-justice/about/procurement - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
