Integrated Sexual Health Service

The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, as the buying organisation, is planning a procurement process for the "Integrated Sexual Health Service" in collaboration with the London Borough of Havering and the London Borough of Redbridge as joint commissioners. This planned procurement entails providing open access sexual health services, including community contraception and testing for sexually transmitted infections. The industry category falls under Health and Social Work services, designated by the CPV code 85000000.

The services will be delivered in the Greater London area, specifically the regions identified as UKI5. The procurement process is currently at the planning stage with an expected future notice date of 1st October 2025, while services are scheduled to commence on 1st October 2026 and continue until 30th September 2031, with a potential extension to 2033. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those experienced in providing comprehensive sexual health services.

The contract, valued at £9,720,000 gross, is above the threshold and engages a light touch regime, making it suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Businesses capable of delivering services that conform to the mandates outlined by local authorities will find this an attractive opportunity for growth and market expansion. The procurement is structured as a lot, providing opportunities for interested parties to renew and extend their service offerings through quality delivery and competitive proposals.
