## Summary

The procurement process led by East Sussex County Council involves the delivery of a Young Persons Sexual Health and Contraception Clinic, classified under health services, for two years starting 15th April 2026. Located in East Sussex, the contract was awarded using the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) without a prior competitive process due to the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. This award was confirmed on 14th April 2026, with a total contract value of £90,000. As a regional authority, East Sussex County Council bypasses certain public contract regulations, showcasing an application of the PSR under direct award process C. The procurement is for services, situated primarily within the Lewes area (region UKJ22).

The tender presents growth opportunities for healthcare providers, with particular suitability for those equipped to deliver innovative quality health services prioritising access and choice for young individuals. With the emphasis on reducing health inequalities and enhancing service integration, collaboration, and sustainability, this contract is tailored for providers adept at delivering robust social value. Small and medium enterprises, especially those with a footprint in the healthcare sector, could benefit significantly by engaging with regional health initiatives like those outlined by East Sussex County Council. The incumbent service provider, The Foundry Healthcare, Lewes, already satisfies key criteria, indicating the potential for continuity and expansion under this service umbrella.
