The prisoner profile is a familiar one across the UK; mainly young men from deprived backgrounds with low literacy and educational attainment, often with a history of drug taking and alcohol abuse, underlying poor nutrition and heavy smoking. Overall maintaining good overall health is a challenge. Many prisoners come into custody from areas of substantial deprivation with very high levels of treatment need. The nature of the prison environment makes the delivery of care as equally challenging as the overall health of the patients. The population presents with incredibly high needs and there are a high number of emergency and urgent cases. The high turnover of prisoners in remand or short-stay institutions, where short sentences or frequent transfers between facilities mean courses of treatment can go unfinished as prisoners are moved on. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=124840 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | 2 Nov 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 6 Jan 2023 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £32,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Unsuccessful | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS WALES SHARED SERVICES PARTNERSHIP | | Locality | NEATH | | Post town | Swansea | | Postcode | SA12 7BX | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL51 Central Valleys and Bridgend | | Local authority | Rhondda Cynon Taf | | Electoral ward | Taff's Well | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff North | | Delivery location | TLL18 Swansea | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85160000 - Optician services ## Release History - 6 Jan 2023 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=124840 - 16 Sep 2022 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=124840 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP411829 Eye Care Services at HMP Swansea - The aim of this service is to provide a safe, efficient and cost-effective patient centred ophthalmic service to the patient population of HMP Swansea that is comparable to the care delivered by NHS ophthalmic practices in the community setting.
