## Summary

The Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council has conducted a procurement process for Integrated Sexual Health Services under the industry category of Health and Social Work Services (CPV code 85000000), with additional classifications in community social services (CPV code 98000000). This contract, valued at £19,849,134, has been awarded to HCRG Care Services Limited through a direct award under the PSR Direct award C, without prior publication of a contract notice. The procurement stage is complete, having reached the award stage on 15 May 2025. The contract will start on 1 April 2026 and conclude on 31 March 2032, serving the region of England in the United Kingdom. The procurement method was limited, and the tender process was specifically designed to be suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). Key features of the service include a focus on prevention, education, and the delivery of high-quality contraception and sexual health services.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the health sector, particularly those specialising in health and social care services, to expand their portfolios and engage in a long-term partnership with a prominent borough council. Given the nature of the services required, SMEs and large-scale providers of healthcare services that can deliver high-quality, cost-effective interventions are well-positioned to benefit. Businesses that are adept in implementing innovative health solutions and can respond to the changing needs and emerging trends in sexual health and population demographics will find this contract advantageous for business growth and expansion within this sector.

## Notice

Integrated Sexual Health Services (ISHS) provide a range of interventions that enable people to experience healthy sexual relationships. We require a prevention focussed integrated sexual health service that meets the needs of the local population within the borough and minimises the need for residents to travel out of the area; a service that will continually improve education, prevention, testing, treatment and support services in response to a changing environment of sexual health and relationship needs. The service will improve sexual health by delivering a range of interventions across the life course; with a focused direction of travel towards prevention, building resilience and self-esteem, along with consistently promoting healthy choices. The service will provide open and easy access, cost-effective, high-quality provision for contraception and prevention, diagnosis and management of sexually transmitted infections (including HIV), according to evidence-based protocols. The service must be responsive to changing needs and emerging trends both locally and nationally - this may include emerging infections, new technologies, changing population profile, and/or changing behaviours. This was a direct award under PSR Direct award C. Additional information: This was a direct award under PSR Direct award C.
