title: National Engine Support Contract 2.5 Extension

description: The A400M Project Team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to extend NESC2.5 by 12 months for the provision of in-service support services at Maintenance Level 2 for the TP400 engine with Rolls Royce PLC

procurementMethod: limited

procurementMethodDetails: Negotiated without publication of a contract notice

procurementMethodRationale:
The A400M Project Team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to extend the current A400M National Engine Support Contract (NESC2.5) contract 706920454 for the provision of in-service support at Maintenance Level 2 (ML2) for the TP400 engine with Rolls-Royce PLC by a further 12 months from 1 October 2025. This is to allow additional time for preparation and placement of NESC3 contract with Rolls-Royce PLC. The value of the extension is estimated to be £12,000,000 exclusive of VAT.
It is considered that this contract can be placed using the Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication of a Contract Notice pursuant to Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the UK Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons.
The Europrop International (EPI) consortium is tasked with designing, developing, manufacturing and supporting the TP400 engine to power the A400M aircraft. In order to provide the required technical services at ML2 there is specific access, technical know-how and specific interoperability with EPI required which could only be provided by an EPI member company, noting EPI's position as the TP400 Engine Design Organisation and the party responsible for providing TP400 ML3 support. In addition, the contractor operating ML2 support must hold Maintenance Approved Organisation Scheme (MAOS) approval, with a Military Aviation authority (MAA) certified ML2 Repair Facility.
Rolls-Royce PLC are the only UK based EPI member company with the specialist know how, equipment and tooling required to provide ML2 support services for the TP400, including being the only operator with a fully accredited TP400 Engine Uninstalled Test Facility in the UK. A key requirement of the ML2 In-Service Support is the required Turn Around Time (TAT) for ML2 in-service support services for the TP400 engine, which is critical to the operational output required and has been calculated based on the engineering tasks required. Any non-UK based provider of this service could not consistently meet the required TAT, due to transport and customs delays requiring additional time.
Rolls-Royce PLC are also the only operator to have a fully accredited MAA certified ML2 Repair Facility with a number of installed turnover stands in the UK. This, together with their specialist knowledge, access to EPI and infrastructure to provide support services in line with technical requirements, means that they are the only operator able to conduct the ML2 support services for the UK's TP400 Engines.

***THIS ADVERT IS FOR A MARKET ENGAGEMENT EVENT ONLY***

NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU on behalf of NHS Coventry and Warwickshire ICB are seeking to run a market engagement event for providers who have the relevant experience and skills to provide an All Age Mental Health, Learning Disabilities and Autism (Individual Packages of  Care) Service.

The aim of this contract is to ensure individuals who require Section 117 Aftercare or any other Mental Health (MH) and Learning Disability and or Autism (LDA) individually commissioned support packages, experience personalised high-quality care, as close to home as possible, enabling the individual to remain connected to local teams and support networks. The provider will ensure appropriately clinically commissioned pathways are in place to enable people to leave hospital when they are ready and effective care that minimises the risk of deterioration of the condition, crisis, and hospital admission.

The design and delivery of clinical pathways and commissioning of clinical services will be dictated by the needs of patients to access support in the way that makes sense to them. Clinical services commissioned will centre around the patient, enabling the individual to reach the optimum level of recovery, be supported using the least restrictive approach to care, whilst maintaining or improving outcomes, achieving value for money, and reducing spend.

The provider will work with MH and LDA core services and social care and relevant partners to ensure seamless and joined-up care, decision-making and risk management whilst promoting independence. The provider will be responsible for the clinical commissioning, contracting, quality assurance and financial management responsibility and will include all aspects of the clinical assessment, placement, and oversight of the patient cohort within a fixed financial envelope.

The intention of the ICB is to put in place a 5 year contract with the option to extend for up to a maximum of 5 years as a result of any process run under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 following this market engagement event. The anticipated contract value is c.£84m/annum, so the anticipated current total contract value over the full life of the contract (10 years if the extension were to be enacted) would be c.£840m. Please note that this is an indicative value for the purposes of this market engagement only and the ICB reserves the right to vary this value in any subsequent notice they may place.

The market engagement event shall take place on Monday, 24th March at 10am via Microsoft Teams. Interested providers should ensure that they register their interest via the Atamis Health Family system: https://atamis-1928.my.site.com/s/Welcome and search for opportunity reference C341730. Providers should ensure that they complete the short survey providing their organisation's details as well as reviewing the documentation provided by the ICB for their perusal. The survey will provide the opportunity for providers both to register their interest and to provide any comments they may have regarding the draft service specification and any other aspects of the information provided by the ICB. An opportunity for providers to request a one to one to discuss the service with commissioners will also be given via completion of the survey. Providers should note that only those who complete the survey will be provided with the relevant MS teams link to attend. Additional information: This market engagement and any subsequent procurement process is being/will be carried out under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to any contract which may be entered into following this market engagement event, nor do they apply to any aspect of the market engagement event itself. In addition, neither the ICB or the CSU shall be bound to carry out any act, in particular to carry out a procurement process of any sort (whether described in the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 or not), as a result of this Market Engagement Event.

description: Advanced Therapies service for 2x LOVO systems. Direct Award Section 41, Schedule 5 - The justification is an absence of competition and technical reasons. CRCR240163

procurementMethodDetails: Direct award

procurementMethodRationale: • The LOVO MED is the only commercially available device with the correct level of CE Marking and the capability to handle all the techniques and processes our department requires. Alternatives on the market, would require the purchase of two different devices to cover the array of processes. • The LOVO system is tailored for larger volume applications, while the Cue system is optimized for small-volume processes. While there are only one or two alternative manufacturers in the field (or world) Fresenius Kabi’s LOVO and Cue machines are specialised in the volumes they treat. • The choice of LOVO and Cue by CGT specialists has been based on Fresenius Kabi’s systems due to the demand on specific criteria, such as volume capacity, automation level, and integration capabilities. • Fresenius Kabi’s Cell and Gene therapy is unique in that it requires advanced biological, genetic, and engineering expertise. It is not a standard piece of equipment that sees many vendors. It involves complex processes such as gene editing, stem cell manipulation, and immune cell reprogramming, which demand specialized equipment and regulatory compliance. • Strict regulations from agencies like the FDA (U.S.), EMA (Europe), and MHRA (UK) govern CGT manufacturing, requiring companies to meet rigorous compliance standards. The regulatory involvement does put off many other manufacturers wishing to develop in this field due to such high focused compliance standards. • The market for CGT is still emerging, with fewer patients receiving these therapies compared to traditional drug treatments. As CGT adoption grows, demand for automated, closed-system collection and processing equipment will maybe increase. This could lead to more competition and innovation, but for now the choice is extremely limited and we are currently the devices of choice in this field.

description: The contact Lens service at Moorfields Eye Hospital is the largest hospital based medical contact lens service in the UK. 15,000 patients attend the contact lens service on an annual basis for medically necessary contact lenses. The contact lens manufacturing lab produced 2500 rigid gas permeable contact lenses and approximately 500 scleral lenses per annum, which provides our patients with sight correction that they would not have through any other means of correction. The quality of life impact on these patients is huge. The new lathe will allow a greater number of lens options to be manufactured in house thus reducing our external spend with other contact lens manufacturers thus offering not only excellent patient outcomes but cost efficiencies for the Trust.

title: The provisions for services to collect, transport, store and process existing High Activity Sealed Radioactive Sources (SRS) using a pre-determined disposal route.

description:
The Home Office have established a programme for the replacement and disposal of Caesium-137 High Activity Sealed Sources (HASS), used in the medical and research industries, as part of a strategy to reduce the likelihood of a terrorist using high risk radiological materials in the UK.
The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) has been instructed by the Department of Energy Security & Net-Zero (DESNZ) to support the Home Office-led initiative by providing support and expertise knowledge for the collection of the HASS and managing the HASS through a suitable waste management route. The Miscellaneous Beta Gamma Waste Store (MBGWS) at Sellafield is the current waste management route for sealed sources in the UK.
The programme is voluntary, meaning owners of Cs-137 sources (End-Users) within scope can apply to participate in the scheme to dispose of their sources and receive a grant for replacing with safer technologies.
The programme will be delivered in phases as End-Users make their sources available for disposal. The NDA, with their trusted partner Nuclear Transport Solutions (NTS), is leading on the procurement and delivery of the first phase of this programme.
This first phase of the programme will act as a pathfinder and lessons learned will be fundamental for the future success of the programme. The NDA are looking for a supplier, or consortium of suppliers, to deliver the first phase of this programme.
The high-level scope of this procurement includes:
• Number of Irradiator Units - 6 with the option to add a further 3 Irradiator Units
• Number of Cs-137 sources - 12 sources in the 6 original Irradiator Units with 2 sources per Irradiator Unit, potential for a further 6 sources in the optional 3 Irradiator Units
• Geographical area - United Kingdom
• Models of Irradiator Units - Gammacell ® 3000 and IBL 437
• Supplier to collect, transport, store and process the Irradiator Unit(s), ), in the UK or abroad, to remove the Cs-137 sources.
• Pack the Cs-137 sources into the disposable liner and 1648C transport package for return to Sellafield MBGWS.
The 1648C transport package is an NDA Group asset that is currently in the process of being licenced as a Type B(M) transport package, led by Nuclear Transport Solutions (NTS). The 1648C is widely and regularly received and managed at MBGWS at Sellafield.
 The proposed scope is likely to be broadly split into two delivery phases:
Phase 1
• The Supplier is to complete all pre-collection activities to prepare the Irradiator Unit(s) for collection from the End-User premises including, but not limited to, obtaining all required permits and licences, coordinating on logistics and schedules and putting in place all health and safety requirements etc.
• The Supplier is to dismantle the Irradiator Unit(s) and package the Irradiator Unit(s) for transport to the Supplier premises (in the UK or abroad) ensuring it has the required consents and permits to transport .
• The Supplier will ensure they have all required permits and capacity to store the sources for up to 36 months on the Supplier premises in either the Irradiator Units or a suitable liner.
• The Supplier will process the Irradiator Unit(s) to remove the Cs-137 sources and place into the appropriate liner .
• Additionally, the Supplier premises will have the capability, or agree to develop the capability, to handle and interface with the 1648C and its accompanying liner once it has been licenced enabling the sources to be packed into the disposable liner for return to Sellafield.
• The Supplier will pack the sources into the disposable liner and the 1648C transport package, when available.
After completion of Phase 1, the Authority will have the option to exercise a break clause within the proposed contract should the Supplier not be required for return of the sources. In the event that the Supplier is not required for return of the sources, the Supplier commits to support the Authority in preparing the sources for return via an alternative route to be determined.
Phase 2
• The Supplier will collect the 1648C transport packages and disposable liners from the UK and transport to the Supplier premises ready for return of the sources.
• The Supplier will then load the sources into the disposable liner and subsequently the 1648C transport packages, onto the universal transport frame (UTF), and transport the sources back to the UK, directly to Sellafield.
Please be advised that participation in this procurement process is subject to national security considerations. Suppliers may be excluded if their proposal is deemed to pose a risk to national security.

Introduction
The Town Council requires a supplier for the provision of Developing a Culture Strategy for Sutton Coldfield (2026-2036) and to Develop and Coordinate a Quincentenary Programme to celebrate the 500-year anniversary of the Towns Royal Charter. The contract period for the strategy will be for a maximum of 6 months commencing Monday 2nd June 2025 until Friday 28th November 2025. The contract for development and coordination of the quincentenary programme will be from 2nd June 2025 until 28th November 2025 and then extended by mutual agreement until 31st December 2028.
Requirements/Specification
This tender is to Develop a Culture Strategy for Sutton Coldfield including a comprehensive engagement plan, to ensure the resulting 'final draft' has been co-created and tested across the town and its people.
The development and coordination of the quincentenary programme (delivered from May 2027 to the end of December 2028) will also require a comprehensive engagement plan, which will have considerable crossover with that of the strategy, engaging with the Arts, Culture, History, Heritage, Friends of Groups, Sporting and other community organisations. The involvement of young people in the planning of the events will also be crucial to the success of the quincentenary celebrations and the part they will play in laying the foundation of the Town for future generations.
Why develop a Cultural Strategy?
•	Culture is who we are, it's our heritage and future, it's how we live our lives and express our identities and it's the glue that brings and keeps communities together.
•	Culture is increasingly understood as an important driver of economic growth and placemaking. There is a growing acceptance of just how important cultural participation is to citizens' well-being, opportunity, and community cohesion.
•	Celebrating the Town's culture can strengthen the sector and bring it closer together, to share best practice, create complimentary activity and strengthen the cultural offer. To help do that, there needs to be a shared vision for culture, and this can be developed through the process of creating a cultural strategy for the Town.
•	A strong cultural sector enriches cultural life and contributes to a welcoming, distinctive and attractive place.
•	A very broad definition of Culture is being used for this work. It's not just the arts but the whole range of cultural expressions and activities including food, sport and ways of life. We're not just thinking about specific services like libraries, museums etc. We want to think across public, private and the third sectors. We're not focused on traditional high-end culture but on the whole rich mixture of cultures in our town. We want to think big, but that means engaging from grassroots to world class.
Quincentenary celebrations
•	The Sutton Coldfield Royal Charter was granted on 16 December 1528. In 1527, John Harman founded Bishop Vesey Grammar school (BVGS).  BVGS plans to commence its 500-year celebrations with a Founder's Day Community Service at Holy Trinity and social celebration in May 2027 which could see the launch of 18 months of celebrations leading up the 500-year anniversary of the Royal Charter in December 2028.
•	The quincentenary celebrations are an opportunity for the town to express its identity and engage with all residents through new cultural activity and participation. The programme should delight audiences, creating joy and happiness and embed a sense of belonging and community pride.
•	To develop a joined up 'town wide' programme for the quincentenary, it is proposed that the Town Council leads on the establishment of an Organising Committee that is responsible for overseeing the planning and development of the quincentenary celebrations.
•	The proposed core membership of the Committee will include the local MP, West Midlands Lieutenancy and representatives from Royal Sutton Coldfield Town Council, Birmingham City Council, A Sutton Coldfield Alderman, Sutton Coldfield Charitable Trust, Holy Trinity Parish Church and Bishop Vesey Grammar School.
•	The successful supplier will therefore need to work closely with and for the Organising Committee.
Existing documents, and key information, that can support this work and the implementation of the strategy
•	Officers from the Town Council will support the delivery of this strategy, for example, by providing networking contacts and introductions.
Existing information that needs building on for this work includes:
•	Birmingham's Existing Cultural Strategy.
•	Definition of Culture - Appendix A sets out the very broad definition of culture that needs to be used for this piece of work.
•	Royal Sutton Coldfield Town Council`s Strategic Plan 2024-2028.
•	The new prospectus for the Town Fund is renamed the Plan for Neighbourhoods. The £20m fund for Royal Sutton Coldfield has been confirmed.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/plan-for-neighbourhoods-prospectus-and-tools/plan-for-neighbourhoods-prospectus
•	There are three priority themes, thriving places, stronger communities and taking back control.
•	There are also pre-approved interventions which would not require a separate business case.

2.	Requirements - Specification/Brief
The Town Council is seeking an individual or organisation to lead our thinking on these cultural issues in a visionary and highly visible way, and to use the 500-year celebrations as a catalyst to sustain and improve the town's cultural offer going forward. Specific work for this contract includes the following:
•	Coordinate, develop and write a Culture Strategy for Sutton Coldfield, for the 10-year period 2026-2036. This builds on consultation work and elements of existing strategies and priorities.
To achieve this, certain questions need to be answered about what the cultural strategy is, including:
o	What is the fundamental nature of Sutton Coldfield's distinctive cultural offer, and what should we be trying to achieve? What are the core strengths on which we should build?
o	What do we need to do to establish Sutton Coldfield's cultural identity, USP, and strengthen its cultural ecosystem so that culture drives the success of the town for all its residents?
o	What would a concise 'high level' cultural proposition look like, that can drive the co-creation process initially?
o	How exactly should this cultural strategy connect across into other areas, from healthcare to digital?
Then the how we begin to deliver it as the Town Council and which key partners can best help drive forward the vision:
o	How should we now organise ourselves as a council and sector to support culture and gain the benefits of culture for our citizens? What are the key elements of an effective culture strategy for Sutton Coldfield?
•	Develop and deliver a detailed Engagement Plan that will enable a fully co-designed and collaborative process that is owned by the town and its people for both the strategy and the 500-year celebration programme.
•	Set out a cultural identity for Sutton Coldfield; a statement of what culture means to our people, a brand that is worthy of putting the town on a regional and national stage.
•	Ensure the strategy references children and young people and connects to other strategies and frameworks for the town.
•	Provide sufficient visual and on-line assets that enable this strategy to be presented as a 'finished final draft' and function as a 'Living Document', that can be easily viewed and commented on. This strategy should be as concise and clear as possible.
•	Provide best practice on promoting a diverse cultural offer for our residents to participate in and experience.
•	Develop a deliverable programme that will bring the strategy to life, up to, during and beyond the quincentenary celebrations.
Quincentenary celebrations
•	Under the stewardship of the Organising Committee, coordinate the 500-year celebration programme around key signature events at the start in May 2027, in the summer of 2027 & 2028 and the finish in December 2028.
•	Develop a programme of activity with community organisations that represent the town`s identity and its communities.
•	Implement effective digital communication and social media campaigns. Also help create         printed marketing materials to support, communicate and promote the programme of events.
•	Establish (with the Organising Committee) key performance indicators to measure the reach and impact of the programme. Present interim finding halfway through the programme and a full evaluation report at the end.
•	Include regular communication with the Town Council`s officers and the Organising Committee during the contract, including for example, initial high-level proposition, summaries of thinking around methodology used, interim findings, thinking so far on different aspects of the work, etc.
Budget
The total amount payable for this contract, i.e. for the development of the cultural strategy and the development and coordination of the 500-year programme will not exceed £150,000 excluding VAT (including expenses and travel).

This notice is placed as a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to seek expressions of interest from organisations who may wish to deliver services for a new Women's Health and Wellbeing Hub in HMP Eastwood Park on behalf of NHS England Health and Justice South West (the commissioner).
As outlined in the National Review of Health and Social Care in Women's Prisons (published November 2023), women in prison face high levels of health inequality and often present with complex health and social care needs (i.e. severe and persistent needs across multiple domains which may be influenced by family/social contexts). They are often living with trauma, including sexual and domestic violence. Women account for a small proportion of the overall prison population in the UK and it has been acknowledged that services within prisons tend to be developed on the basis of what works for men. As such, the specific health and social care needs of women are not always consistently met.
Funding has been allocated to enable NHS England Health and Justice Commissioners to establish Women's Health and Wellbeing Hubs within prisons across England. The establishment of these hubs is part of a collaborative, proactive approach to address the issues outlined above and reduce health inequality in this group. Hubs are designed to work at the interface between primary and secondary care. They provide services that may be more specialised than what is typically available in primary care settings, for health issues which do not necessarily need a referral to secondary care. Hubs are not a replacement for primary care, secondary care, or specialist services. They should not duplicate existing services and should be tailored to meet local population needs.
Background:
HMP Eastwood Park is a closed category women's prison located in the South Gloucestershire local authority. Although it is based in the South West, the prison serves a wide catchment area which also includes the West Midlands, the South Coast and Wales. The prison currently accommodates approximately 370 women aged 18 and over, around 40% of whom are expected to return to Wales on release. In addition to providing a secure environment for the general population of the prison, HMP Eastwood Park has a well-established mother-and-baby unit which can house up to 12 women and their babies up to the age of 18 months.
Objectives:
The overall purpose of the hub will be to facilitate access to a wide range of services, including preventative healthcare and early intervention, with the goal of improving health outcomes and reducing inequalities. The structure, environment and delivery of services will be underpinned by a trauma-informed approach. There will be an emphasis on improving on-site service provision, in recognition of the emotional impact and stress associated with attending appointments off-site under escort, as well as the additional demand off-site appointments place on staffing capacity.
HMP Eastwood Park's hub will be expected to serve two main functions. The first is to provide access to a range of core healthcare services as specified in the national commissioning guidance (required services listed below). The second is to provide a single point of contact to facilitate multiple, integrated and opportunistic service delivery. The hub should provide signposting/clear referral pathways, and deliver health education and health promotion activities to ensure women are empowered to maintain their health and wellbeing. Wellbeing advice and support, for example advice on sleep hygiene, mindfulness, stress management and nutrition, should be provided alongside delivery of clinical interventions.
The required core services are as follows. Please note that a gap analysis is currently being undertaken to establish which of these services are being either fully or partially delivered by existing providers and whether they can be accessed within HMP Eastwood Park. A key priority of the hub will be to improve access to services on-site so women are not required to attend potentially sensitive healthcare appointments under escort:
•	Support for menstrual problems, including but not limited to care for heavy, painful or irregular menstrual bleeding and care for conditions such as endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome.
•	Menopause assessment, treatment and review.
•	Contraceptive counselling and provision of full range of options.
•	Access to long-acting contraception fitting and removal.
•	Access to emergency hormonal contraception.
•	Pessary fitting and removal.
•	Cervical screening.
•	Screening for STIs/BBVs.
•	Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination including catch-up provision.
•	Incontinence care including pathways into continence assessment and options for management such as pelvic floor physiotherapy.
•	Pathways for domestic abuse and sexual violence support.
Key principles:
1. Collaboration with women who have lived experience:
Women with lived experience of the criminal justice system should play a central role in the development, delivery and evaluation of the hub. Lived experience input can help to identify areas of unmet need, promote hub services, and support continual evaluation and improvement of the hub through patient feedback and recommendations.
2. Trauma-informed and trauma-responsive services and environment:
Hubs must provide trauma-informed environments and staff should be appropriately trained in trauma-informed care. Procedures must be in place to support practitioners in managing the emotional impact of their work with consideration of vicarious trauma and practitioners' own lived experiences. Many women in contact with the criminal justice system will have experienced domestic abuse and sexual violence (DASV). It is important that practitioners recognise the nature and prevalence of DASV, the impact of DASV, and steps they can take to avoid re-traumatisation.
Trauma-informed practice emphasises the need to provide physical, psychological and emotional safety to service-users and practitioners, with the goal of supporting service-users to rebuild a sense of control and empowerment. This should be given particular consideration when an individual requires an intervention or procedure which may feel invasive. A trauma-responsive service needs to develop and maintain strong links with mental health services and services providing specialist support for people who have experienced trauma.
Service model:
1. Protected resource within the establishment:
Hubs are designed to provide an additional resource in order to address female-specific health and wellbeing needs within women's prisons. This provision must include a protected staffing resource based within the establishment. Accordingly, hubs should offer timely access to on-site appointments which goes beyond in-reach support from community services.
2. Integration:
The hub should have a joined up and collaborative relationship with other health services delivering care within the establishment. Referral routes and care pathways both in and out of the hub must be established and understood. Information must be shared appropriately between services to achieve integration and coordinated care.
3. Promotion and self-referral:
Services offered by the hub must be well-promoted to ensure women have a clear understanding of what services are available and how to access them. Women should be able to self-refer and understand how to do so.
It is anticipated that a contract will commence in late spring / summer 2025 and expire on 30th September 2029. The estimated contract value is £150,000 per annum.
At this time, the Commissioner seeks responses to a market engagement questionnaire, the aim of which is to determine the level of provider interest in delivering these services and obtain feedback from the market to help inform commissioning. This may be followed by further questionnaire(s) and /or a pre-procurement market briefing event. If a briefing event is arranged, details will be shared with those who express an interest and return a completed market engagement questionnaire.
This exercise is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner. Additional information: Additional information in relation to the requirements of the hub can be found within the National Health and Justice Women's Health and Wellbeing Hubs Specification and Commissioning Guidance which is available as a separate document within the Atamis, e-procurement system.

This notice is placed as a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to seek expressions of interest from organisations who may wish to deliver services for a new Women's Health and Wellbeing Hub in HMP Eastwood Park on behalf of NHS England Health and Justice South West (the commissioner).
Women in prison have disproportionately higher levels of health and social care needs than their male counterparts in prison and women in the general population. They often experience barriers to consistently accessing the health and social care services they need in a timely manner. Funding has been allocated to enable NHS England Health and Justice Commissioners to establish Women's Health and Wellbeing Hubs within prisons across England.
Women's Health and Wellbeing Hubs (referred to as "hubs" for the purposes of this notice) are designed to work at the interface between primary and secondary care.
