## Summary

Darlington Borough Council has awarded the contract for the provision of Sexual Health Services - Community Contraception Service under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023. Located in Darlington, United Kingdom, this procurement falls within the health services industry category and employs a limited procurement method, allowing for direct award without a prior call for competition. The contract runs from 1st April 2029 to 31st March 2029, with a lifetime contract value of £1,596,208.60, following confirmation of the contract award on 14th August 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses within the health services sector, especially those specialising in contraceptive services and community healthcare. The awarded contract aims to ensure the continuity and quality of contraceptive services including clinical advice and support such as emergency hormonal contraception and condom card scheme provision. Due to the non-competitive market for these highly specialised services with a limited provider base, Primary Healthcare Darlington, a local SME, was chosen to uphold service delivery standards and provide direct access to local residents, fostering reliability and growth in community health provision. As there was no prior call for competition, businesses with expertise in these areas might find similar direct award opportunities promising for business expansion.
