NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSE/I) South East invites expressions of interest (EOI) from suitably qualified and experienced prime providers, including third sector and social enterprise organisations, private and NHS organisations, to provide an integrated health and emotional wellbeing service to the students at the new Oasis Restore Secure School in Medway, Kent.

This is an opportunity for healthcare providers to develop and deliver a truly innovative approach to improving the health and well-being of vulnerable children and young people with complex needs.

The event is intended to give potential bidders and sub-contractors an initial briefing on the vision for the Secure School by NHSE/I, alongside our partners Oasis Restore and Youth Custody Service.

There will also be opportunities for prime providers to attend 1:1 meetings with service commissioners, likely to be during w/c 9th or 16th May.
