Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council commissioned a partnership arrangement for public health services in Wolverhampton. The scope covers the Healthy Child Programme and sexual health services, including prevention, testing, treatment, early support and intervention for children, young people and families. The work is classified as health and social work services (CPV 85000000), with additional community, social and personal services activity. The arrangement is delivered through a public-sector partnership with The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, which is named as the supplier. It is therefore relevant to NHS trusts, public health providers and organisations able to deliver integrated population-health services, particularly services combining children’s health and sexual health provision within a local authority setting.

The procurement has been awarded to The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, recorded under two names for the same organisation. The contract was signed on 17 February 2025 and has a value of £93,758,531. Its current contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 March 2030. The underlying service period was originally recorded as ending on 31 March 2029, but the arrangement was modified under Regulation 13 of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The modification adds investment in children, young people and families and sexual health services, reshapes provision around Best Start in Life principles, and extends the partnership by six months, from 1 April 2029 to 30 September 2029, to maintain continuity while future commissioning arrangements are developed.

This award demonstrates substantial local demand for an integrated public health partnership covering both child health and sexual health. A credible future competitor would need the clinical, operational and governance capacity to deliver prevention, testing, treatment and early intervention at population scale, while maintaining continuity, performance and quality standards across multiple service areas. Experience of working with a local authority and NHS partners would be directly relevant, as would the ability to reshape provision around changing public health priorities and future demand. Providers should be able to coordinate services for children, young people and families alongside sexual health provision, manage public-sector reporting and accountability, and support service transformation without disrupting existing delivery.
