Open Select List for Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives

Lincolnshire County Council is seeking to commission local GP Practices to provide Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs) via an Open Select List (OSL). This initiative is under the Local Authorities Regulations 2013, which mandates the provision of comprehensive sexual health services. The contract, valued at £5,250,000, covers services including intrauterine contraception and subdermal implants, and will be effective from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2029.

The procurement process follows an open procedure, and the tenderer's period ended on 18 March 2024, with awards issued starting 19 March 2024. The delivery regions encompass the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for local GP practices to expand their service offerings and customer base by providing vital health services to the community.

Ideal candidates for this tender include medical practices capable of delivering either intrauterine or subdermal implant contraceptive services, or both. By joining the OSL, providers will benefit from consistent service terms, standardized pricing, and the possibility of treating a broader demographic across multiple regions. This opportunity is well-suited to both small and large medical practices looking to grow their operations within the health services industry.
