Notice Title

Prior Information Notice: 383 - Sexual Health Services

Notice Description

Wigan Council is seeking expressions of interest from sexual healthcare providers who are able to deliver community and specialist sexual and reproductive healthcare services in the borough. A 2017 review of sexual health provision in the Borough informed the development of a new delivery model and procurement of the current provider. We have since worked with our delivery partner to make changes to improve how these services are delivered in the Borough. These changes included things like increasing the amount and type of places support can be accessed, introducing a digital offer, and ensuring that the right support was available for the people who need it the most. During the course of the contract, we have put new models of care in place, driven by the need to reduce face to face contact during the pandemic, which has provided an opportunity to learn from and build on these changes. The current contract has been extended until 31st March 2024, to enable a thorough review of the current provision to be completed. A public consultation has now been commenced, and will run until 4th July 2023. We anticipate the review to be completed during July 2023, with the available commissioning opportunities being released to the market during August 2023. Delivery will commence from 1st April 2024. This Prior Information Notice will enable Commissioners to understand the level of interest from the marketplace in the delivery of sexual healthcare services in Wigan. Please note, this is a soft market testing exercise and the deadline for expressions of interest in this opportunity is 5pm on Wednesday 5th July.
