Summary of the contracting process

NHS Surrey and Sussex Integrated Care Board commissioned a community vasectomy service for men registered with general medical practices in the East Surrey area. The House Partnership provides non-scalpel vasectomy (NSV) at Greystone House Surgery in Redhill. The service covers permanent male contraception using a less invasive alternative to surgical sterilisation, with access for eligible patients across the East Surrey population. It includes information about risks, benefits and alternatives; pre-operative counselling, including enhanced counselling for patients under 30 or without children; clinically appropriate treatment; post-operative advice and follow-up; and access to clinicians for advice or concerns. Procedures beyond routine GP-level intervention are undertaken under direct consultant supervision. The service is delivered by a formally accredited GP with Extended Role in vasectomy and integrates with referring GP practices and local Primary Care Networks.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to The House Partnership through Direct Award Process C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without a prior call for competition. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028. Its approximate lifetime value is £113,000. The award is active and the contract is active. One bid was recorded. Evaluation used the Provider Selection Regime key criteria: quality and innovation 30%, improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice 20%, integration, collaboration and service sustainability 20%, value 20%, and social value 10%. The existing provider was assessed as satisfying the original contract and likely to continue meeting the requirement to a sufficient standard; cost carried no weighting.

This requirement is suited to community healthcare providers able to deliver safe, clinically governed vasectomy services close to patients. A credible competitor would need a formally accredited GP with Extended Role in vasectomy, competence in non-scalpel vasectomy, and arrangements for consultant supervision where procedures exceed routine GP-level intervention. It would also need robust clinical governance, patient information, consent and counselling processes, including enhanced support for younger patients and those without children, alongside reliable aftercare and follow-up. Strong referral pathways with GP practices and Primary Care Networks, responsive communication with system partners, flexible access and evidence of equitable care across different backgrounds would be important. The buyer also values efficient resource use, competitive unit costs, community-based delivery, local employment, sustainability and wider social value.
