## Summary

The City of York Council, as the buying organisation, has awarded a contract for the Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) Service to Nimbuscare Ltd. The procurement stage was completed under a Services category with a limited procurement method and an award procedure without a call for competition. The contract, valued at £243,052, is active and spans from 1st July 2024 to 31st December 2024, with a potential extension to 30th June 2025.

This contract award presents growth opportunities for businesses operating in the health services industry, especially those providing sexual health promotion and contraception services. Companies with expertise in family-planning services and a focus on quality, innovation, and social value, combined with a commitment to improving access and reducing health inequalities, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future.

## Notice

The council has a statutory obligation to commission specialist sexual health services including HIV prevention, sexual health promotion and contraception services for our citizens. Sexual health is an important area of public health. Most of the adult population are sexually active, including many young people, so access to high quality, safe and effective sexual health services improve the health and wellbeing of individuals, families and communities, for example by the prevention and management of sexually transmitted infections. The Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) service is part of the mandated Public Health duties and therefore CYC has an obligation to ensure this service is commissioned on behalf of our citizens.
