This pertains to primary care and mental health services for adult male prisons in West Yorkshire, including locations such as HMP Leeds, HMP Wakefield, and HMP Wealstun. Initially set to expire on 31st March 2025, the contract with the current provider has been extended by 12 months to ensure continuity of essential healthcare services.
The procurement process, classified under the health services category, involves a change in service provider from Care UK Clinical Services Limited to Practice Plus Group Health and Rehabilitation Services Limited. This urgent modification increases the contract value by £15,502,193 and is deemed necessary for patient safety.
