Summary of the contracting process

NHS Black Country Integrated Care Board is procuring a specialist vasectomy service (CPV 85100000, health services) for adult men in the West Midlands. The service must provide high-quality, safe vasectomies using either a one- or two-stage approach, with no-scalpel or scalpel technique, under local anaesthetic. Treatment must be delivered in a primary care setting to adult men who request it, are of sound mind and are not acting under duress. NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit is managing the procurement on behalf of the Integrated Care Board. The requirement covers the complete clinical service, including provision in accordance with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists guidelines. It is a single service requirement rather than a range of separately described work packages.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers using an open procedure under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services. Tenders must be submitted by 9 October 2026 at 5pm, electronically or in writing, in English. The tender is valued at £1,623,000 GBP. The initial contract period is two years, with the commissioner retaining an option to extend for up to a further two years; the stated contract duration is 1,440 days. Bids are to be opened on 12 October 2026 at 10am and must remain valid for 120 days after submission. The requirement does not allow variants. The award process is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, rather than the Procurement Act 2023.

This opportunity suits established primary care providers and specialist sexual health or urology services able to deliver vasectomy procedures safely and consistently for adult patients. Providers need appropriately qualified and experienced clinical staff, facilities suitable for primary care treatment, and the capability to offer both no-scalpel and scalpel techniques under local anaesthetic. Delivery must follow Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists guidelines, so bidders should be able to demonstrate compliant clinical governance, patient-safety arrangements and service quality. The service also requires the capacity to manage a complete vasectomy pathway for patients requesting the procedure, rather than supplying equipment or isolated clinical sessions. Organisations with relevant NHS or comparable commissioned-service experience are likely to be well placed to compete.
