## Summary

Leeds City Council is seeking tenders for the provision of a Sexual Health Improvement Service aimed at vulnerable populations at risk of HIV exposure. This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is located in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The tender period closes on **13th October 2021** and has an estimated contract value of **£2,210,960**, set to commence on **1st April 2022** and run until **31st March 2027**. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing any interested entities to submit bids.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), to engage in public health initiatives. Companies specialising in health services, community outreach, or education and training within the sexual health sector would be particularly well-suited to participate. The focus on comprehensive sexual health and HIV prevention initiatives presents avenues for innovative service delivery and community engagement strategies.

## Notice

The Sexual Health Improvement Service will work with Leeds residents from key populations, communities and vulnerable groups identified as being most at risk of exposure to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The Service will work to improve overarching sexual and reproductive health & wellbeing outcomes for these groups. This will include raising awareness of contraceptive and pregnancy choices, sexual consent and facilitating access to wider health services, as well as promoting, normalising and facilitating access to key HIV prevention initiatives such as PrEP (Pre-exposure Prophylaxis) referral, condoms and lubricant and community-based HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) testing. The Service will take a key role in co-ordinating HIV testing and prevention work across the city, which will include education and training with communities and partners to increase HIV awareness and reduce stigma. In-scope populations include (but are not limited to): Black African communities, men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender people, asylum seekers and refugees, newly migrated communities, and other groups identified through local intelligence.
