## Summary

The Bracknell Forest Borough Council, acting as the contracting authority on behalf of The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead and Slough Borough Council, has completed a tender process and awarded a 2-year fixed-term contract for the provision of Sexual Health Services. The service falls under the medical specialist services category with a main procurement category of services. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was awarded to Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, with a total value of £4,465,185.00 GBP, signed on November 8, 2023.

This tender for the provision of Sexual Health Services presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in medical specialist services to engage with local authorities and potentially expand their service offerings. Businesses that can provide tier 3 and 2 clinical environments compliant with public health requirements will be well-suited to compete. As the contract progresses, there will be a market engagement exercise aiming to open up the opportunity to tender to other service providers, offering a chance for further growth and involvement in the healthcare sector within the three boroughs involved.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The provision of this service, to the 3 named councils, is in compliance with statutory Public Health requirements for the provision of a Sexual Health Service.The provider must comply with the clinical need to provide services via at least one tier 3 clinical environment and at least one tier 2 clinical environment. These clinics must be easily accessible to all residents of the 3 boroughs.

### Procurement Information

The provision of this service requires clinical facilities that are rated tier 3 and 2. The only facilities currently located in the area of operation are at two 3rd party Primary Care Trusts. The object of this award, under Regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 Clauses 9, 10, 11 and 12, is to ensure continuity of Sexual Health Services.
