## Summary

Middlesbrough Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Sexual Health - Tees HIV Prevention and Support Service Pilot", focused on providing health and social work services in South Tees, Hartlepool, and Stockton. Awarded under Route A of the Provider Selection Regime, this contract aims to provide a free and confidential service to groups at risk of poor sexual health outcomes. The procurement method implemented was limited, without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the lack of a realistic alternative provider and patient choice considerations. This service falls under the main procurement category of services within the health industry, specifically targeting STI and HIV-related outcomes. The contract, valued at £72,000, spans from April 2026 to March 2027, with its recent award occurring on 12 March 2026.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in health services, particularly those specialising in sexual health prevention and support. With an emphasis on STI testing, awareness of HIV treatments, and early detection, enterprises capable of delivering innovative, quality health solutions are well-positioned to benefit from such contracts. The involvement of Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) as the supplier illustrates the potential for large-scale health organisations committed to tackling sexual health issues. By aligning with this procurement, businesses can leverage opportunities to partake in high-impact community health projects, contribute to positive public health outcomes, and establish a strong presence within the health services sector.
