## Summary

Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust has awarded a contract for the "SWBH-Postal STI Testing & Laboratory Service," classified under Hospital services (CPV 85111000). This procurement involves the provision of an integrated self-sampling online sexual health service across Birmingham (UKG37), with services deployed by both Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust and Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust. The contract, initially commencing in July 2025, will run for two years, with options to extend annually for up to two further years. Notably, this contract award follows the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) under the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, bypassing the typical Public Contracts Regulations. The procurement stage is currently at the tender update phase, following the formal contract award.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare service integration, digital health solutions, and laboratory services. Companies with strengths in innovation, system integration, and social value are well-positioned to compete, particularly those adept at improving access and reducing health inequalities. SMEs like Preventx Limited, known for their expertise in the field, have successfully been awarded the contract, valued at approximately £2,144,000. The service requirement highlights the importance of collaboration with local clinical teams, suggesting that organisations focusing on telehealth and digital transformation could see significant growth prospects in similar procurement processes.
