## Summary

The procurement process led by NHS England focused on developing a "Virtual Ward for Prisons - Dementia, Mental Health and Neurodiversity" project. The contract is part of the services category and aims to assess the adaptation of virtual ward models for mental health services within South East Health Justice Prisons. The procurement, executed through a direct method without competition due to it being below the threshold, was awarded on 25th May 2026 and signed on the same day. The contract commenced on 1st June 2026 and is expected to conclude by 31st March 2027. NHS England, operating from Wellington House in London, facilitated this process.

The scope for adapting a virtual ward model could also drive further collaborations and innovations within the healthcare consultancy market.

## Notice

This business case outlines the potential for developing a virtual ward model for mental health within South East Health Justice Prisons. While there is already substantial evidence supporting the positive impact of virtual wards in physical healthcare, there is scope to assess whether a similar approach could be successfully adapted for mental health services within detained estates.
