This service, which falls under the miscellaneous health services category, is aimed at offering one or two-stage vasectomy procedures in community settings within the Yorkshire and the Humber region. The procurement process is at the tender stage, with submissions due by 12:00 noon on Monday, 16th April 2018. If successful, the contract will commence on 1st May 2018 and continue until 30th April 2021, under an open procedure that requires providers to demonstrate their competence and safety standards. This tender presents significant opportunities for healthcare providers, particularly those specialising in urology or general medical services, aimed at expanding their service offerings. Businesses that are suitably qualified and can demonstrate their capability to meet the required quality standards under the NHS Standard Contract would benefit from participating. The flexible delivery hours, including potential out-of-hours services, make this an attractive opportunity for both small and medium enterprises looking to establish or grow their foothold in the healthcare sector. ## Notice The service will provide an option of either a one stage or two stage vasectomy procedures carried out under local anaesthetic, using the "no scalpel" technique, in community settings. The health professional will promote the two stage process for vasectomy as this ensures the patient has a two week cooling off period before having permanent sterilisation. The service clinics may be provided between core hours (09.00 - 17.00) but where possible there should also be out of hours provision in order to meet patient need and provide patient choice. The service will offer advice to other primary and secondary healthcare professionals as necessary. The service will be commissioned using the Any Qualified Provider (AQP) process. In securing services under the AQP process assurance of competence, quality and safety standards are required. Any provider will be eligible to join the qualified provider list subject to them demonstrating competency against specified criteria. Qualified providers will be expected to deliver the service under the NHS Standard Contract. As a qualified provider there will be no levels of guaranteed activity and payment would be made based on actual provision.
