Delivering advanced and up-to-date prison health solutions

We provide strategic advice to commissioners to navigate the procurement process from the outset, including advising on compliance with public procurement law transparency and consistency, and the process needed to run the procurement, including the appropriate manner of engagement with bidders.

We can advise on the overall legal and contractual structure required for the provision of primary care services, including the use and adaptation of the NHS Standard and APMS contracts and working through any service-specific issues.

We will work with the local authorities involved in any prison health procurement to secure a budget for social care and incorporate important mechanisms for contractual performance management.

We are comfortable working with the latest PDS and GOS contracts to ensure all service-specific requirements are met in the context of integrated commissioning.

We can advise on the provision of any other prison-specific services which may be required, including mental health and substance abuse services and pharmacy and medicine management.

Following the procurement process we can provide ongoing strategic and contractual advice concerning the choice of bidder as provider, relationship management with provider(s) going forward, preparation for contract award and any necessary contractual updates following changes to legislative or commissioner requirements.
