Description

NHS England South (South East) are seeking a suitably qualified service provider to manage an integrated prison based substance misuse service to HMP/YOI Bronzefield.
This Public Health based approach enables prisoners to easily access a wide variety of care in order to achieve the best possible outcomes for substance misusers, their carers and their families. Whilst the commissioner of these services is NHS England, the provider will be expected to work closely with NHS England to deliver a whole system approach.
HMP & YOI Bronzefield is a modern purpose built prison for women which opened in June 2004; it serves the court catchment area of Kent, Essex, Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, Dorset & Isle of Wight and all London courts. HMP&YOI Bronzefield's operational capacity is 572 making it one of the largest women's prisons in Europe.
Bidders must be aware that, although this procurement is undertaken in good faith, potential government policy changes could enact changes to prison healthcare provision. Bidders/providers must be prepared to work with commissioners to implement any nationally mandated directives, whether during the procurement or the ensuing contract.
