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. Access to the service shall be available through various channels, including a digital and face to face clinic offer, in order to effectively respond to the need across the borough and take into account inequalities. The service will need to have approaches for specific client groups as detailed in the specification with an emphasis on self-managed care, prevention and early intervention and reducing risky behaviour wherever possible. Direct award C has been used. Contract will commence 1st April 2026 for 6 years.
