Description

West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) as the Contracting Authority ("CA") for West Yorkshire Police (WYP) wishes to establish a single Provider Contract for the provision of Healthcare and Forensic Services in Custody. The CA is tendering this requirement in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023, following the Competitive Flexible Procedure. The Supplier is required to deliver a high quality and cost effective service, which meets the healthcare requirements of detainees and assists with the recovery of forensic evidence, whilst working to reduce re-offending. The Supplier must deliver a 24/7/365 embedded service in all Force custody suites, at; - Elland Rd (Leeds DHQ) - Stainbeck (Leeds)- Trafalgar House (Bradford) - Halifax (Calderdale) - Dewsbury (Kirklees) (New station opening 2026) - Havertop (Wakefield DHQ) There is also an Overspill Suite at Pudsey (Leeds) which is occasionally used. Plus the North East Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU) is also based in West Yorkshire. The CA requires one Healthcare Professional (HCP) to be embedded at each of the six custody suites. One additional HCP is required as peripatetic cover, referred to locally as resilience cover, to work across all custody suites providing additional assistance and support as required by fluctuations in demand for service. The peripatetic HCP will initially be based at Trafalgar House Bradford custody suite when not required to provide cover/assistance at any of the other custody suites, however this may change during the term of the Contract. CTU require the initial assessment of TACT detainees to be carried out by an FME. Subsequent assessments, however, can be undertaken by HCPs. There may also be other exceptional occurrences where an FME is deemed necessary to undertake an assessment instead of a HCP. A Pay As You Go (PAYG) model for FME's is required instead of an embedded/on-call FME model included in the annual service cost. The service will be supported by an online booking system for the request of healthcare services, triaging & prioritising the order of calls and allocation of assessments to the correct HCP. The Contract is anticipated to commence 27th September 2026 and expire 30th September 2031, with the provision to extend for a further period, or successive periods, up to 30th September 2036.
