What the buyer wants
Norfolk County Council is commissioning a community-based Level 2 Sexual Health Service for the South Norfolk/Breckland locality to provide assessment, testing, and treatment of uncomplicated STIs, focusing on improving access in rural areas and integrating with existing pathways.
Level 2 Sexual Health Service (STI Testing and Treatment) - South Norfolk/Breckland Locality
Norfolk County Council Public Health intends to commission a community-based Level 2 Sexual Health Service within the South Norfolk/Breckland locality.
The proposed service will build upon existing Primary Care-based sexual health provision and expand the scope of delivery to include the assessment, testing and treatment of symptomatic but uncomplicated sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The service is intended to improve access to local sexual health services, particularly within rural and geographically dispersed communities, whilst supporting integration with existing Norfolk sexual health pathways and referral arrangements.
The service has been developed in response to identified local need and will focus specifically on the South Norfolk/Breckland population. Providers expressing an interest should therefore be able to demonstrate an appropriate delivery model, geographical footprint, workforce capacity, clinical capability and governance arrangements necessary to deliver the service across the required locality.
The proposed contract term is four (4) years with an indicative annual contract value of approximately £103,500, representing an estimated total contract value of £414,000 over the full contract term. The contract is expected to operate on an activity-based payment model.
This procurement is being undertaken under Direct Award Process B of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023
Interested providers should be able to demonstrate:
· Appropriate clinical capability to deliver a Level 2 Sexual Health Service.
· Sufficient workforce capacity and resilience.
· Robust clinical governance and safeguarding arrangements.
· Experience of delivering sexual health and STI services.
· Ability to provide accessible services within the South Norfolk/Breckland locality.
· Integration with existing sexual health pathways, laboratory services and referral arrangements.
The Authority notes that alternative sexual health provision already exists elsewhere within Norfolk and therefore this opportunity is specifically focused on addressing the needs of the South Norfolk/Breckland locality.
Providers wishing to express an interest will be invited to provide information regarding their capability, capacity and proposed delivery model for the service.
