This notice is placed as a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to inform the market of Thames Valley Police’s (TVP’s), (the Authority’s), intention to recommission Custodial Healthcare Services in the latter part of 2023 for commencement in 2024. The Authority would like to understand the level & range of service provider interest in delivering these services and is seeking providers who have the capability and capacity to deliver a resilient service. The service shall provide fully qualified, trained and competent Healthcare Professionals embedded 24/7/365(6) in the 6 Custody Suites in the TVP area to assess, treat & signpost Detained Persons (DPs) to ensure fitness for detention, interview, charging, with full live Clinical Oversight & consideration of a multi skilled workforce to assist in across the Force & in particular the South of the Force. Note; there is additional pressure in Loddon Valley & Maidenhead that may require additional support. The service needs to be reactive to short notice operational needs as well as proactive to longer term strategies. The ever evolving operational and custody requirements need to fully integrate with NHS (L&D), Social Care & Voluntary Sector providers of health & social support, creating & managing interconnected relationships & pathways with a view to reducing the ‘revolving door’ effect around the reasons for committing crimes. This will be in conjunction with regular reporting and the subsequent meeting of a number of stringent key performance indicators. Interactive training scenarios involving the Authority and/or other organisations would be welcomed. The purpose of this PIN is without call for competition only at this stage to alert & gauge the market, obtain a better understanding of the current market capabilities and capacity, resilience, innovation and technological advances & provide a conduit for potential service providers to express an interest and become involved in pre-tender engagement events.
