## Summary

Dorset Council is seeking tenders for a joint procurement of two contracts: an Integrated Sexual Health Service and a Specialised HIV Treatment Service. This procurement, which falls under the health services category, is estimated at a total value of £39,000,000 over a potential six-year duration. The tender period closed on 20th March 2020, with the contracts set to commence on 1st October 2020 and end on 30th September 2024. As the buyer, Dorset Council aims to evaluate all bids together, ensuring that tenders meet the specified maximum acceptable values of £4,800,000 for the Integrated Sexual Health Service and £1,698,266.28 for the Specialised HIV Treatment Service.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health services and community health. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) stand to benefit from competing for these contracts. With an expectation that current providers' staff may transition under TUPE regulations, firms with experience in integrated health delivery or specialised HIV services could find this procurement particularly advantageous for growth and expansion in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

## Notice

Dorset Council is procuring on behalf of Public Health Dorset, and NHS England Specialised Commissioning South West, two jointly commissioned contracts for the provision of: 1. an Integrated Sexual Health Service, and 2. a Specialised HIV Treatment Service. Any decision to award from this procurement would be for two separate contracts for the delivery of these services. The contracts are being jointly procured, therefore tenders are required for delivery of both services and will be evaluated together for one award decision. The services are currently delivered by a number of providers with an existing staff pool therefore it is anticipated that TUPE will apply across both contracts. The estimated contract values are: PS4,800,000 for Integrated Sexual Health, and PS1,698,266.28 for Specialised HIV Treatment. These sums are the maximum acceptable bid and all tenders that exceed either of these values would be rejected. The maximum value for both contracts, for the maximum potential period of six years is; PS38,989,597.68. Additional information: The procurement documents are available for unrestricted and full direct access, free of charge, at: https://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk/ Tenders or requests to participate must be submitted electronically via: https://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk/Title: Integrated Sexual Health Service and Specialised HIV Treatment, Reference Number: DN411442
