About

Wiltshire Council is seeking a supplier to join a framework of public health service providers to deliver NHS Health Checks, Smoking Cessation, Long Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) services and the No Worries young people’s sexual health service across Wiltshire GP practices and pharmacies. Services will be available to all Wiltshire residents registered at a Wiltshire GP practice or accessing a Wiltshire pharmacy, with the contract running for five years from 01 April 2024 and an optional extension of up to five years. The NHS Health Checks programme invites adults aged 40–74 every five years to screen for conditions including heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease and stroke; smoking cessation services provide behaviour change support and access to stop-smoking medications; LARC services provide adults with information on contraception methods to prevent unintended pregnancies; and the No Worries service offers friendly, non-judgemental advice for 13–24 year olds including free condoms, pregnancy testing kits, emergency contraception, opportunistic chlamydia testing for women and those with a womb, and chlamydia treatment for positive young people and their partners.
