The procurement stage is a tender, with a selective procurement method using Competitive Dialogue.

The procurement deadline is 11th April 2023, with an annual budget of £22,722,915, and procurement falls under the Health and social work services category. This tender by Medway Council presents an opportunity for qualified organisations to provide Specialist Clinical Services and Adult HIV Treatment and Care Services. Businesses in the health and social work services sector would be well-suited to compete for this opportunity, especially those experienced in sexual health services and outpatient care. The tender is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their service offerings and collaborate with public authorities. ## Notice The provision of open access sexual health services is a mandated function for Local Authorities under regulation 6 of the Local Authorities (Public Health Function and Entry to premises by local Healthwatch Representatives) Regulations 2013. Medway has an integrated sexual health service that delivers HIV Treatment and Care services in partnership with NHS England. Our joint vision is to recommission an Integrated Sexual & Reproductive Health Service (including outpatient HIV Treatment and Care). Medway Council in partnership with NHS England (the Contracting Authorities) is seeking suitably qualified and experienced organisation/s to provide this service. The Service provision will be divided into two elements with both elements awarded to one and the same lead provider. Providers must therefore bid for both elements: Element 1 - a contract with Medway Council for the provision of Specialist Clinical Service (Sexual and reproductive health) that includes the following services: * Hub and Spoke clinics offering a full level 1-3 service (STI prevention, detection and treatment, Contraception, and associated functions) * Self-managed care including health education, online testing, and harm reduction * Outreach to schools, colleges and other organisations to promote the service * Outreach to groups who face additional barriers accessing services * Psychosexual therapies; short to medium term therapy * National Chlamydia Screening Programme * Condom scheme * Long Acting Reversible Contraception fitting and removal in primary care * Emergency Oral Contraception in Pharmacies * Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) * Post Exposure Prophylaxis after sexual exposure (PEPSE) * Out of Area payments and invoicing (Provider holds the budget within core contract value) The annual budget of Element 1 is capped at PS2,500,000 per year. Element 2 - a contract with NHS England for Adult HIV Treatment and Care Services delivered in accordance with the national service specification (https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/b06-spec-hiv-serv.pdf). . The annual budget of Element 2 is capped at PS529,722 per year. Element 1 will be procured using the Competitive Dialogue procedure to incorporate additional innovation into a well-established and effective service. Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE) may apply to this opportunity. The contract start date will be 1 October 2023 for 5.5 (5 1/2) years with the option, at the discretion of the relevant contracting authorities to extend for a further 2 years.
