## Summary

NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board (ICB) is planning to award a contract for the Sussex Vasectomy Service under the UK Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The service will be provided across West Sussex, Brighton & Hove, and East Sussex, with an estimated annual contract value of £650,000 and a maximum total value of £5,200,000 over eight years. The current procurement stage is the award phase, with the standstill period ending on 6th January 2025. The contract has not been formally awarded, and interested providers must submit representations by the specified deadline.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for healthcare providers, particularly those specialising in surgical and post-operative care. With a high focus on quality, innovation, and value, businesses with robust quality management systems and a history of delivering efficient healthcare services will be well-suited. The requirement for CQC registration and WHO-compliant post-vasectomy semen analysis presents a competitive edge for providers meeting these standards, enabling SMEs and larger organisations to participate in a significant public health initiative in Sussex.
