Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth City Council’s Integrated Sexual and Reproductive Health Services contract covers health services delivered in Portsmouth. The current contract’s services are unchanged by the modification: the change concerns its lifetime value, not the scope or contract length. Solent NHS Trust is the selected provider. The requirement is for integrated sexual and reproductive health provision, rather than a general health-services contract, so it is most relevant to providers with the service expertise and workforce needed to deliver this type of care for the council. The procurement is associated with one lot. The notice identifies the delivery location by an internal region code, which does not provide a usable place name beyond Portsmouth.

The contract has been awarded to Solent NHS Trust and is active. Portsmouth City Council formally modified the contract to increase its lifetime value, effective 1 April 2026, to pass on funding for recurring NHS staff pay pressures following NHS pay awards. The contract value is £21,560,899. It was signed on 28 September 2023 and has a stated duration of 2,520 days. The modification does not change the services or contract length. The procurement is described as a Provider Selection Regime contract modification under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The release gives no evaluation criteria or award procedure for the original selection.

This award demonstrates Portsmouth City Council’s demand for integrated sexual and reproductive health services and its use of a specialist provider, Solent NHS Trust. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need to show credible experience delivering this specific area of healthcare, with the clinical workforce and operational capability to sustain services for the council. The modification also highlights the importance of managing recurring NHS staff costs, including pay pressures affecting staff on Agenda for Change contracts, and being able to explain the funding required to maintain delivery. The requirement is a substantial, multi-year service rather than a short, discrete supply, making relevant service-delivery capacity and the ability to support continuity important commercial strengths.
