Description

This amended notice is placed as a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to inform the market of Thames Valley Police's intention to recommission Custodial Healthcare Services for mid 2025 & beyond. We will be seeking to understand the level & range of service provider interest in delivering these services & seeking providers who have the capability & capacity to deliver a resilient evolving service. The service shall provide fully qualified, trained & competent Healthcare Professionals embedded 24/7/365(6) in the 6 main Custody Suites in the TVP area to assess, treat & signpost Detained Persons (DPs) to ensure fitness for detention, interview, charging, with full live Clinical Oversight & consideration of a multi skilled workforce. The service needs to be reactive to short notice operational needs as well as proactive to longer term strategies, needing to fully integrate with NHS (L&D), Social Care & Voluntary Sector providers of health & social support, managing interconnected relationships & pathways. The purpose of this PIN is for market information only, notifying the intention to re-commission this service mid to late 2024 for contractual arrangements mid 2025 & beyond, rather than a call for competition at this stage. The tendering process will follow the PCR2015 two stage Restricted procedure via In-Tend e-Procurement system.
