Mobile Sexual Health Service
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Durham County Council, a sub-central government authority in the United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process for a Mobile Sexual Health Service. The awarded contract, identified by the number 000502-2026, was issued to the Durham City Youth Project as the supplier. This initiative focuses on providing outreach services in various settings like youth and community venues and educational institutions across regions known for teenage pregnancy.
Key service offerings include sexual health programmes, resilience-building among young people, and specific services such as C-Card and chlamydia screening. The procurement, conducted through a "direct" method without competition, falls under health and social work services and has a contract period from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028, valued at GBP 104,060. It is identified under a "lightTouch" regime, completed as of 6th January 2026.
The service is set to operate in the UKC14 area, specifically targeting teenage pregnancy hotspots. This contract presents growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those specialising in health and social services. Organisations experienced in providing outreach services, sexual health programmes, and educational initiatives aimed at young people will find this tender particularly relevant.
The engagement not only allows service providers to extend their reach into identified high-need areas but also facilitates collaborations with local government bodies, enhancing their credentials and paving the way for future contracts. SMEs positioned within the community health or social work industry can leverage this opportunity to scale operations and demonstrate their impact on public health outcomes, specifically in youth-centric environments.
Provide an appropriate outreach service to enable work in a variety of settings, including youth and community settings, colleges, schools, and other locations in which groups of young people congregate e.g. skate parks or fast food restaurant car parks, within teenage pregnancy 'hot spot' areas, as identified by the Teenage Pregnancy & Sexual Health Steering Group and other partners. Provide sexual health services such as C-Card and chlamydia screening and refer to Contraception and Sexual Health services. Provide a Sex and Relationships Education programme which develops young people's social and emotional capabilities and improves their health and wellbeing.
Build resilience in children and young people to protect against engaging in risky behaviour. Increased positive health outcomes for young people.
