The tender, titled "Information and Advice - PrEP," falls under Research consultancy services and includes additional categories such as Social research services, Health services, and Community health services. The procurement method is a Competitive quotation process with a deadline for submission on April 4, 2023. The contract is expected to start on May 1, 2023, lasting until November 30, 2023. This opportunity created by Norfolk County Council is ideal for businesses that specialize in research consultancy, social research, health services, or community health services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate. The Council allows multiple providers to be awarded contracts, opening up possibilities for various organisations to contribute to achieving the Public Health goals set out in the tender. ## Notice Norfolk County Council's commissioner for sexual & reproductive healthcare in Norfolk, on behalf of the Director of Public Health, wishes to gain advice from one or more expert organisations so as to: aid the Council's Public Health to reach its residents at high to highest risk of acquiring HIV (in-line with BHIVA/BASHH guidelines on the use of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) 2018); inform the content, design, publication, and distribution needed for NCC Public Health to run a future PrEP awareness campaign; and increase uptake of PrEP from these particularly hard to reach cohorts.
