## Summary

Westmorland and Furness Council is actively engaged in the procurement of an Integrated Sexual Health Service designed to offer comprehensive health services within the UKD12 region. This service is structured to encompass Level 1, 2, and 3 services, enhancing existing provisions from General Practice and Community Pharmacy providers. With the period of service implementation set to commence on the 25th of March, 2026, this contract highlights key priorities, including improved accessibility for at-risk groups and advancements in STI screening. The procurement is currently in the contract update stage and is governed by legal mandates under the Health and Social Care Act 2012 and emphasised by recent modifications under the Provider Selection Regime 2023.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for organisations within the health services industry seeking to engage with public sector contracts. Given the focus on sexual health services, businesses specialising in healthcare provision, consultancy, or medical supplies will find avenues for growth by collaborating with the Westmorland and Furness Council. The initiative targets not only a breadth of services but also clinical leadership and education, which can foster workforce expertise and innovative practices. Companies that can deliver high-quality, accessible health services, particularly to recognised at-risk demographics, are encouraged to participate, with North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust already playing a role as an active supplier in this expansive service offering.
