Summary of the contracting process

NHS Surrey and Sussex Integrated Care Board commissioned a community health service providing non-scalpel vasectomy (NSV) in Woking for men registered with general practices across West Surrey. The service covers permanent male contraception through a less invasive alternative to surgical sterilisation, with treatment delivered in a community setting rather than an acute hospital. It includes information on risks, benefits and alternatives, pre-operative counselling, enhanced counselling for patients under 30 or without children, the procedure itself, post-operative advice and follow-up. Care is provided by a formally accredited GP with Extended Role in vasectomy. Procedures beyond routine GP-level intervention require direct supervision by an appropriate consultant, with links to referring GP practices and Primary Care Networks.

This completed procurement was awarded through Direct Award Process C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without a prior call for competition. Marie Stopes was selected as the provider. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028, with an approximate lifetime value of £180,770. The award decision followed assessment of quality and innovation (30%), improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice (20%), integration, collaboration and sustainability (20%), value (20%), and social value (10%). The published bid statistics record one bid, with valid bid values ranging from £180,770 to £198,847.

This requirement suits established community healthcare providers able to deliver clinically governed vasectomy services at primary-care level. A credible future competitor would need a formally accredited GP with Extended Role in vasectomy, capability in non-scalpel vasectomy, and appropriate consultant supervision for procedures beyond routine GP practice. Strong patient pathways are important, including informed consent, pre-operative counselling, enhanced support for younger patients or those without children, post-operative follow-up and clinician access for concerns. The successful model also demonstrates the importance of flexible and timely appointments, equitable access, effective referral arrangements with GP practices and Primary Care Networks, coordinated communication with system partners, competitive operating costs, local community delivery and sustainable clinical and administrative staffing.
