Summary of the contracting process

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council is procuring one integrated sexual health service for residents of Sandwell. The service is intended to support healthy sexual and reproductive lives, free from discrimination, coercion, exploitation and violence, with particular attention to people at highest risk of poor access to services and poor outcomes. It covers sexual health and family-planning services, alongside wider health services. Delivery is in Sandwell. The council is willing to consider different delivery arrangements, including a single provider, a provider using subcontractors, or a consortium. This is a healthcare service procurement under the Provider Selection Regime, rather than a procurement governed by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

The process has reached tender: the council invited suppliers to submit offers through the Provider Selection Regime competitive process, described as an open procedure. It is a single-lot procurement for one contract. The contract is planned to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with a review-dependent extension of up to two further years, from 1 April 2030 to 31 March 2032. The estimated value is £11,154,660. Tenders must be submitted electronically in English by 1 September 2026 at 13:00. Tender opening is scheduled for 1 September 2026 at 13:01. Variants are not allowed. Offers will be assessed using the evaluation methodology in the invitation-to-tender documents, with basic selection requirements covering financial and technical capacity, insurance, and regulatory compliance.

This opportunity suits established sexual and reproductive healthcare providers able to deliver an integrated service across Sandwell and tailor provision to people facing the greatest barriers to access. The buyer will consider single organisations, consortia and subcontracting models, so suppliers may compete alone or combine clinical, public-health and support-service expertise. Bidders need sufficient financial and technical capacity, appropriate insurance, and the ability to meet UK GDPR, health and safety and modern-slavery requirements. Care Quality Commission registration and an acceptable rating are required. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate the operational capacity, governance and healthcare experience needed to provide reliable services for the whole local population and to manage any proposed partnership or subcontracting arrangement.
