## Summary

Royal Borough of Greenwich commissioned community clinics and a Contraception & Sexual Health (CASH) service in London. The service provides rapid and easy access to the full range of contraceptive services, alongside rapid access to the prevention, detection and management of sexually transmitted infections. Its purpose is to reduce the prevalence and transmission of sexually transmitted infections while maintaining accessible sexual health provision. The procurement is classified as miscellaneous health services. The selected provider is Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust, an NHS foundation trust. The requirement covers both the core CASH service and additional rapid-access provision for sexually transmitted infection services following the insolvency of the previous provider. Delivery is therefore focused on community-based sexual health and contraception services for Greenwich residents.

This was an urgent direct award without prior publication of a competition, made under the Provider Selection Regime and the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The stated reasons were provider insolvency, clinical criticality, no viable alternative, transition complexity and immediate need. Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust was awarded the contract on 19 August 2026, with the contract signed on 19 August 2026. The contract period runs from 24 March 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its total value is £927,309.50 excluding VAT: £715,309.50 for the CASH service and £212,000 for additional rapid-access sexually transmitted infection provision. The published award records one bid, and price was the stated award criterion. Subcontracting is involved.

This award indicates demand from Royal Borough of Greenwich for an integrated community sexual health provider able to deliver contraception, community clinics and rapid sexually transmitted infection prevention, detection and management. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate clinical capability across the full CASH service, accessible community delivery and the ability to provide rapid access when continuity of care is at risk. Experience managing sexually transmitted infection services, maintaining safe clinical operations and moving services through a complex provider transition would be particularly relevant, given the circumstances behind this award. The selected supplier is a large NHS foundation trust, so organisations competing for a similar requirement should be prepared to evidence comparable operational capacity, clinical governance and resilience, as well as the ability to sustain core and additional rapid-access provision for this buyer.
