Summary of the contracting process

NHS North East London Integrated Care Board commissioned a community consultant-led vasectomy service for residents across the North East London boroughs. The service covers the complete patient pathway: pre-operative information, counselling and advice; no-scalpel vasectomy under local anaesthetic; post-operative care; and post-vasectomy testing. Delivery is intended through accessible community care settings and various local sites, including primary care locations. The service also supports wider men’s health promotion and is expected to provide safe, high-quality, patient-focused care. This is a healthcare service procurement, classified under health services, rather than a supply or construction requirement.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage under the Provider Selection Regime competitive process, using an open procedure. MSI Reproductive Choices was awarded the contract on 16 January 2026, with an active contract valued at £415,800 excluding VAT, equivalent to £138,600 per year. The contract period is 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028, with an option for the Authority to extend it by one year to 31 March 2029. The tender deadline was 23 October 2025 at 5pm. Evaluation weighted quality at 85% and price at 15%; providers also had to achieve a 55% threshold score. Four bids were received, with three progressing beyond selection.

This requirement indicates established NHS demand for accessible community vasectomy provision across North East London. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need consultant-led clinical capability in no-scalpel vasectomy under local anaesthetic, with the capacity to provide counselling, pre- and post-operative information, testing and follow-up as one coordinated service. Credible providers would need to demonstrate safe clinical practice aligned with the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare guidelines, relevant national and local guidance, appropriate accreditation processes and robust governance. A strong patient-centred model, accessible community or primary care sites, men’s health expertise and sufficient operational capacity would also be important. The evaluation outcome shows that quality was substantially more important than price.
