These services will support individuals whilst detained for short periods of time including in, but not limited to, short-term holding facilities as defined under the Short-Term Holding Facilities Rules 2018 (as amended), where individuals can be held up to 24 hours. The Authority is seeking a flexible, responsive and value for money healthcare solution that meets the basic needs of individuals and can be flexible to different service environments; the short-term holding facilities are located at different location types across the UK which include Airports, Seaports, and Reporting Centres.
