Integrated Healthcare at Clayfields House and Lincolnshire Secure Units

Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit, acting on behalf of NHS England (Health and Justice, North Midlands) (i.e. the Commissioner) invites submissions from healthcare providers including third sector organisations, social enterprise and other providers to provide Integrated Healthcare Services (IHS) to the children and young people residing within Clayfields House and/or Lincolnshire Secure Unit. NHS England will be the contracting and commissioning authority for IHS.

Since the service provision requirements at both of the Units are similar and share common service specification, performance framework and service objectives, the Commissioner has split the specification into two lots, to appoint providers for each of these units i.e. Lot 1 - Clayfields House Secure Unit and Lot 2 - Lincolnshire Secure Unit.

Arden & GEM CSU is managing this Procurement in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the “Regulations”). The Service is being procured under “Schedule 3 - Social and Other Specific Services”. The Contracting Authority will be using an eTendering system in this procurement exercise.
