## Summary

NHS England procured integrated healthcare services for HMP North Sea Camp. The service covers primary healthcare, including optometry, and mental health care for people in the prison. The contract description was amended to remove substance misuse services, so these are not part of the final stated scope. The service is delivered at HMP North Sea Camp. This is healthcare service provision in a custodial setting, requiring the supplier to provide accessible care to a vulnerable patient group and support continuity of healthcare within the prison.

The contract has been awarded to Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. NHS England used an urgent, limited award without a prior competition after the incumbent unexpectedly gave notice; it cited its statutory duty to commission healthcare in places of detention and the risks of leaving patients without accessible services. The selection basis was addressing immediate safety and care-quality risks; price carried no evaluation weight. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026, with an initial term from 18 March 2026 to 17 March 2030 and an option to extend by one year. The stated value for the five-year term is £8,836,535. The award decision was approved on 1 May 2025.

This award demonstrates demand for integrated prison healthcare at HMP North Sea Camp, covering primary care and optometry alongside mental health care. NHS England cited a limited pool of providers in the offender-health market and the need to maintain accessible healthcare for a vulnerable patient group. A credible competitor for a future requirement would therefore need the capacity to deliver a coordinated service in a custodial environment, address immediate risks to safety and quality, and sustain delivery long enough for service development and patient outcomes to be monitored. The stated final scope excludes substance misuse services. The award was made urgently to preserve continuity after the incumbent's unexpected departure, so experience supporting safe service transition would be relevant to this buyer's requirement.
