This service focuses on medical practice services, specifically the testing and treatment of symptomatic but uncomplicated sexually transmitted infections (STIs), to improve access to sexual health services within these regions. The tender, currently in the active stage, is being managed electronically via the council's e-procurement system. Interested participants must submit their bids by 1st December 2026, with an award period commencing shortly thereafter on the same day. The procurement is conducted as an open procedure, not limited by the number of providers, under the Direct Award Process B of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with experience in sexual health and STI management, to expand their reach within the South Norfolk/Breckland locality. Providers capable of delivering robust clinical governance, workforce capacity, and integration with existing health pathways are well-suited for this project. The contract, worth approximately £414,000 over four years, is expected to operate on an activity-based payment model, allowing for scalable services based on demand. This favourable structure and the focus on addressing localised sexual health needs mean that businesses with appropriate clinical capabilities and a strategic presence in these geographical areas can leverage this opportunity for growth and increased community impact. ## Notice Level 2 Sexual Health Service (STI Testing and Treatment) - South Norfolk/Breckland Locality Norfolk County Council Public Health intends to commission a community-based Level 2 Sexual Health Service within the South Norfolk/Breckland locality. The proposed service will build upon existing Primary Care-based sexual health provision and expand the scope of delivery to include the assessment, testing and treatment of symptomatic but uncomplicated sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The service is intended to improve access to local sexual health services, particularly within rural and geographically dispersed communities, whilst supporting integration with existing Norfolk sexual health pathways and referral arrangements. The service has been developed in response to identified local need and will focus specifically on the South Norfolk/Breckland population. Providers expressing an interest should therefore be able to demonstrate an appropriate delivery model, geographical footprint, workforce capacity, clinical capability and governance arrangements necessary to deliver the service across the required locality. The proposed contract term is four (4) years with an indicative annual contract value of approximately PS103,500, representing an estimated total contract value of PS414,000 over the full contract term. The contract is expected to operate on an activity-based payment model. This procurement is being undertaken under Direct Award Process B of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 Interested providers should be able to demonstrate: * Appropriate clinical capability to deliver a Level 2 Sexual Health Service. * Sufficient workforce capacity and resilience. * Robust clinical governance and safeguarding arrangements. * Experience of delivering sexual health and STI services. * Ability to provide accessible services within the South Norfolk/Breckland locality. * Integration with existing sexual health pathways, laboratory services and referral arrangements. The Authority notes that alternative sexual health provision already exists elsewhere within Norfolk and therefore this opportunity is specifically focused on addressing the needs of the South Norfolk/Breckland locality. Providers wishing to express an interest will be invited to provide information regarding their capability, capacity and proposed delivery model for the service. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This procurement is being undertaken using Direct Award Process B of the Health Care Services ( Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.
