## Summary

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust has contracted for an online sexual health portal and testing service for its Somerset-wide Integrated Sexual Health Services. The requirement combines digital access to sexual health services with the provision of testing; the related software classification covers internet and intranet software development. Delivery is in Somerset. The service is intended to maintain continuity with the Trust’s wider integrated sexual health service, which is provided under a contract awarded by Somerset Council. This is a health service with a digital delivery component, rather than a standalone software development commission. It is relevant to providers able to operate an online sexual health portal and deliver associated testing for a geographically defined population.

The contract has been awarded to Preventx Limited and is active. The Trust made a direct award to the incumbent supplier under a framework agreement, without a competitive process, as a short-term arrangement to align with the Trust’s wider Somerset sexual health services contract. The award date was 29 September 2026 and the contract was signed that day. Its estimated lifetime value is £630,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2028. The procurement is recorded as complete. The stated evaluation basis was the framework agreement’s criteria, with cost given a 100% weighting. The contract is for one service package; no separate awards are listed.

For suppliers preparing for a comparable requirement from Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, this award demonstrates demand for a combined online sexual health portal and testing service, delivered across Somerset and aligned with the Trust’s wider integrated service. A credible provider would need to show it can maintain a patient-facing digital portal and organise associated testing as a dependable, joined-up service, supporting continuity rather than software delivery alone. The buyer used a framework direct award to its incumbent, so suppliers seeking to compete for future work of this kind would benefit from framework access relevant to healthcare services, a track record of delivering online sexual health provision and the operational capacity to serve the county. The selected provider was an SME, showing that this scale of requirement was awarded to a smaller supplier.
