## Summary

Northumberland County Council procured a fully integrated sexual health service for Northumberland. The requirement covers health services, including the delivery of an integrated model for local sexual health provision under the Provider Selection Regime. The service is described as a new service to be delivered by an existing provider. The buying organisation is Northumberland County Council, and delivery is in Northumberland. The selected provider is Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, an NHS foundation trust based in Newcastle upon Tyne. This opportunity is therefore relevant to organisations with the clinical, operational and governance capability to deliver comprehensive sexual health services across the county, rather than to suppliers providing only individual products, narrow clinical services or general health-sector support.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Northumberland County Council used Direct Award Process C under the Provider Selection Regime, described as an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The award was made to Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. The contract is active and was signed on 20 August 2026. It is for four years from 1 April 2027, with the requirement describing an option to extend for a further two years. The estimated annual value is £2,708,563, while the signed contract value is £16,251,378, both in GBP. One bid was recorded. Evaluation concerned whether the existing provider was meeting the original contract and was likely to meet the proposed contract to a sufficient standard, assessed against quality and cost.

Although this award is complete, it identifies a defined and substantial requirement for integrated sexual health provision in Northumberland. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to deliver a county-wide service rather than isolated interventions, with strong clinical capability, service integration, safeguarding, referral management and continuity of care. The buyer’s stated assessment focused on whether an existing provider was performing satisfactorily and could continue to meet the proposed standard, so evidence of comparable performance, measurable quality and dependable service delivery would be important. Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust’s selection also indicates that an established healthcare organisation with sufficient operational capacity and NHS-sector governance arrangements was well placed to satisfy this requirement. Relevant providers should monitor this buyer’s approach to integrated sexual health services.
