This tender presents significant opportunities for healthcare providers, particularly those specialising in minor surgical procedures and community healthcare services.

Lot 2 - The CCG is looking to commission a community Vasectomy Service to undertake vasectomies under local anaesthetic. These services will be accessible to all males who are the responsibility of the CCG. All men requesting a vasectomy should first be fully assessed and counselled to ascertain if the procedure is indeed the most appropriate intervention.
