The current healthcare contracts will end on the 31st March 2023 and as a result the successful providers are expected to be fully operational, providing services from the 1st April 2023. The service providers will be required to deliver an outcome based high quality integrated healthcare service to include provision of the following services and coordination amongst them: General Practice, Nursing, Mental Health, Substance Misuse (clinical and psychological), Health Promotion and Sexual Health. The Commissioner encourages innovation and use of technology within service delivery. They are seeking patient centred solutions for the provision of this service with the following aims: • Deliver a high-quality care which is flexible and meets the varying patient needs within both units • Find a provider who can work effectively and in partnership with the Secure Units within a secure setting • Establish contracts for services that have been market tested to represent best clinical quality.
