Healthcare at Short-Term Holding Facilities

Preliminary market engagement for healthcare services at short-term holding facilities and ports of entry across the UK, supporting people detained for short periods. The Home Office is engaging suppliers on healthcare services for people detained for short periods at short-term holding facilities and ports of entry across the UK, including airports, seaports and reporting centres. The proposed model includes remote healthcare services, clinicians undertaking remote consultations and the IT infrastructure required to support a remote-only service. This is preliminary market engagement, not an invitation to tender. Contract commencement is expected in early 2028 and the final contract value is still being developed.
