## About this tender

NHS England South (South Central) requests Expressions of Interest from providers with the capacity and capability to provide an outcome focused, integrated primary healthcare service, equivalent to that available to the local community for HMP Winchester. The service will include an inpatient facility capable of providing a comprehensive range of services in-house to include physical health, mental health and substance misuse services. NHS England and the local authority are also exploring options for integrating social care provision.

The contract is due to begin on 1st October 2019.

NHS England will commission a prime provider model for prison healthcare services in order to support integrated, patient centred care across the full range of service specialties required to manage the complex healthcare needs of those in the prison settings.

NHS England will hold a contract with the prime provider, who in turn can directly provide care and/or subcontract care to other specialist providers. The prime provider will also be responsible for ensuring that all healthcare services operating within the prison work in an integrated way, delivering seamless care pathways.

Services will be supportive of each other and the patient, minimising repetition and handoffs. Services under the prime provider model will be accountable not only for their own area of specialism but also to work together to contribute to the functioning of the healthcare services as a whole. The prime provider will hold overall clinical, governance and financial accountability for healthcare services in the prisons, coordinating provision and distributing funding etc.

HMP YOI Winchester was built in 1846 and is typical of the Victorian prison, radial design. It is currently a Category B Local prison that serves the local courts, with a small 129 bed Category C Resettlement Unit, named West Hill.

Winchester has an operational capacity of approx. 700 and is able to take men from the age of 18 upwards. There is full time healthcare provision, with a dedicated bed inpatient facility and an award winning Family Intervention Service. Further information about healthcare and the prison can be found in the overview document provided on the In-Tend portal.

â&#128;¢ GP Provision

â&#128;¢ Primary Care Nursing and Admin service
