## Summary

Durham County Council has awarded a contract for the County Durham Integrated Sexual Health Service (ISHS) to County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust (CDDFT). This contract falls under the health and social work services category (CPV: 85000000) and covers the region of England within the United Kingdom. The procurement was executed using a direct award method, approved by the Public Health Senior Management Team (PHSMT). The contract period starts on 1st October 2024 and ends on 30th September 2029, following the tender period that concludes on 30th September 2024.

The direct award of this service presents a significant opportunity for large healthcare providers with similar past performance and the resources to manage comprehensive health service delivery. The contract value is £26,198,715, indicating substantial potential for business growth within the health sector. Companies with robust capabilities in managing integrated sexual health services across a wide geographic area, like CDDFT, will be well-suited for such procurements in the future. It creates a stable revenue stream and establishes a long-term partnership with local authorities.

## Notice

The contract with County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust (CDDFT) for the County Durham Integrated Sexual Health Service (ISHS) meets the eligibility criteria for the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Direct Award C. Following a review of the ISHS, based upon the assessment of the provider's past performance across the key criteria and ability to continue to deliver against these, plus the fact that the financial implications of sourcing estates across County Durham would likely be prohibitive for a new provider and would impact the value for money of the service, Public Health Senior Management Team (PHSMT) approved the direct award of the new ISHS contract to CDDFT from 01/10/24 to 30/09/29.
