## Description
The Home Office seeks to engage suppliers for the provision of healthcare services at short-term holding facilities and ports of entry across the UK. These services will support individuals whilst detained for short periods of time including in, but not limited to, short-term holding facilities as defined under the Short-Term Holding Facilities Rules 2018 (as amended), where individuals can be held up to 24 hours.
The Authority is seeking a flexible, responsive and value for money healthcare solution that meets the basic needs of individuals and can be flexible to different service environments; the short-term holding facilities are located at different location types across the UK which include Airports, Seaports, and Reporting Centres.  
Remote Healthcare Services: This market engagement aims to understand supplier capabilities and appetite, to further refine the Authority’s specification and gather feedback on the proposed approach of remote healthcare services.   This includes gaining further understanding of both the provision of Clinicians to undertake remote consultations and the provision of IT infrastructure required to deliver a remote only healthcare service.
The content of this Notice, including the nature of services and the start date of the contract, is subject to change.
The contract is expected to commence in early 2028. The length of contract has not been confirmed yet. 
For the purposes of this Preliminary Market Engagement Notice, the estimated contract value has been listed as £0. This figure does not reflect the expected final value of the contract. The actual estimated value is currently being finalised and will be shared later.
