Description

NHS England South East (NHSE) is seeking to commission prime-provider led integrated healthcare services at Campsfield House and Haslar Immigration Removal Centres (IRCs). The IRCs provide primary medical services to foreign nationals awaiting decisions on their asylum claims or awaiting deportation following a failed application. The procurement is split into 2 lots: • Lot 1 - Campsfield House IRC • Lot 2 - Haslar IRC Providers may bid for one or both of the Lots. Interested providers should have the capacity and capability to provide an outcome focused, integrated and patient centred primary healthcare service, equivalent to that available to the local community, for the IRC. The service will deliver a comprehensive range of services in-house, to include physical health, mental health and substance misuse services; please refer to the service specification(s) for a full list of services. NHSE will hold a contract with the prime provider, who in turn can directly provide care and/or subcontract care to other specialist providers. Campsfield House IRC is located in Kidlington, Oxford and is expected to have an initial operational capacity of 160 male detainees in phase one of the contract, rising to 400 in phase two. Haslar IRC is located in Gosport Hampshire and is expected to have an initial operational capacity of 130 male detainees in phase one, rising to 600 in phase two. For both sites there will be an incremental occupancy increase over the first year of the contract. Immediately post confirmation of the contract award (expected to be January 2024) and subject to signing of the contract, the successful bidder for each lot will be expected to actively participate in the on-site mobilisation of the integrated healthcare services immediately post the contract award, in order to effectively commence service delivery once the first detainees arrive in July 2024. Payment will be made for this period as described in the ITT documentation. The contracts will end on 31st March 2031, meaning that the total Contract term for each lot will be a maximum of 7 years and 3 months, inclusive of the mobilisation period of 6 months (based on Contract Signature in January 2024). The Service Delivery period is expected to be 6 years and 9 months, based on Service Commencement to detainees on 1st July 2024. The maximum total contract values for the service delivery period are as follows: Lot 1 £15,160,224 Lot 2 £21,092,208 plus payments during the mobilisation periods as per the ITT and subject to reconciliation against actual expenditure during this period. The published Service Specifications are currently awaiting final approval. All amendments will be notified via the procurement portal. This procurement is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners.
