Summary of the contracting process

The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust has engaged in a procurement process concerning the provision of STI testing and emergency contraception services, specifically targeting chlamydia and gonorrhoea self-testing, with an alignment to other existing STI testing contracts such as HIV and syphilis. The project is located in Rotherham, United Kingdom, and falls under the services category with a focus on pathology services. The procurement method employed was direct, below the threshold, and executed without competition. As of 5th November 2025, the process has reached the award and contract stage with the service set to last from 1st October 2025 to 31st January 2027, with a contract value of £50,656 excluding VAT. The awarded supplier is SH:24 CIC, a large-scale company operating from London.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specializing in healthcare and pathology services, especially those with capabilities in providing self-testing kits and emergency contraception. While the process did not allow for competitive bidding, it highlights a market need within the NHS framework that businesses can align with and potentially prepare for future tenders. Companies focusing on innovative health solutions and efficient service delivery mechanisms, particularly in the public health sector, could find growth potential through similar NHS procurement opportunities. Engaging with such contracts could provide not only immediate revenue but also establish longer-term relationships with public authorities and healthcare buyers like The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust.
