The initiative is described under the industry category "Health services" and is associated with the CPV code 85100000. The main procurement category is services, specifically addressing the future commissioning scenario post-March 2027, when HIV and sexual health services will be contracted separately. The contract is expected to commence on 1st April 2027, with an initial term of five years and an option to extend for two more years. Important dates include the closing date for expressing interest on 19th June 2026, and a future notice date of 3rd August 2026. The procurement is managed by NHS South, Central & West (SCW), subject to restructuring, with future management not yet finalised. This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those experienced in managing HIV treatment and care. It seeks to understand interest levels from various providers capable of delivering specialised adult HIV services, which could lead to enhanced health service delivery and business growth. Companies with a strong track record in providing health services compliant with national specifications and sensitive to diverse communities will find this opportunity particularly relevant. The expected annual contract value of £235,648, although indicative, represents a substantial engagement for potential bidders, allowing firms to expand their footprint within the healthcare services sector in Wiltshire. ## Notice This notice is placed as a Prior Information Notice (PIN) in order to inform the market of NHS England South West's, (the Commissioner's) intention to commission HIV treatment services in Wiltshire. Currently, HIV services are commissioned through a collaborative arrangement with Wiltshire Council as part of an integrated service with sexual health services. The integrated service will be in place up to 31st March 2027. From 1st April 2027 the services are likely to be commissioned separately with Wilshire Council commissioning sexual health services and NHSE commissioning HIV services. At this stage, NHS England would like to understand the level of interest from providers in delivering HIV treatment services across Wiltshire. Services must be delivered in line with the national service specification: https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/New-HIV-prescribed-service-specification-version-4.4.pdf The Contract term is expected to be for an initial period of 5 years with the option to extend for up to 2 years, commencing 1st April 2027.

SCW is currently subject to restructuring, and the management of this procurement may therefore move to a successor at some point during the procurement process.

Currently, HIV services are commissioned through a collaborative arrangement with Wiltshire Council as part of an integrated service with sexual health services. The integrated service will be in place up to 31st March 2027. From 1st April 2027 the services are likely to be commissioned separately with Wilshire Council commissioning sexual health services and NHSE commissioning HIV services. At this stage, NHS England would like to understand the level of interest from providers in delivering HIV treatment services for adults across Wiltshire. Specialised Adult inpatient and outpatient HIV Services aim to provide specialist assessment and ongoing management of HIV and associated conditions to support individuals to stay well, remain engaged in care and to reduce onward transmission. The services will ensure that outcomes, wellbeing, and quality of life are maximised, that they are culturally competent, in recognition of the disproportionate number of people from diverse backgrounds who access HIV care, and that people are central to decisions about the management of their health and social care. All individuals should be provided with equitable and non-discriminatory care across all healthcare settings including those outside specialist HIV and sexual & reproductive health (SRH) services. The Equality Act 2010 applies in England and serves as protection against discrimination across all health and social care settings. Providers must comply with mandatory organisational requirements for equality, diversity and inclusion training. Services must be delivered in line with the national service specification: https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/New-HIV-prescribed-service-specification-version-4.4.pdf The Contract term is expected to be for an initial period of 5 years with the option to extend for up to 2 years, commencing 1st April 2027.
