The contract will start on 1 April 2026 and conclude on 31 March 2032, serving the region of England in the United Kingdom.

Notice Title

Sexual Health - PSR

Notice Description

Integrated Sexual Health Services (ISHS) provide a range of interventions that enable people to experience healthy sexual relationships. We require a prevention focussed integrated sexual health service that meets the needs of the local population within the borough and minimises the need for residents to travel out of the area; a service that will continually improve education, prevention, testing, treatment and support services in response to a changing environment of sexual health and relationship needs. The service will improve sexual health by delivering a range of interventions across the life course; with a focused direction of travel towards prevention, building resilience and self-esteem, along with consistently promoting healthy choices. The service will provide open and easy access, cost-effective, high-quality provision for contraception and prevention, diagnosis and management of sexually transmitted infections (including HIV), according to evidence-based protocols. The service must be responsive to changing needs and emerging trends both locally and nationally - this may include emerging infections, new technologies, changing population profile, and/or changing behaviours.
