Tender: Swindon Integrated Sexual Health Services – Clinical, Digital, Postal Testing, LARC & Outreach

About

Swindon Borough Council is seeking a suitably qualified provider to deliver a single-lot Integrated Sexual Health Service that combines clinical services, digital access, postal testing, Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) in GP settings, outreach and prevention. The contract is procured under the Competitive Process of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and responds to the council’s statutory duty to commission open-access sexual and reproductive health services; the single-lot digital-first, outcomes-based, prevention-focused model follows a Preliminary Market Engagement exercise. The initial term is 60 months with an option to extend for a further 48 months (two periods of 24 months) for a potential total term of 9 years. The guaranteed contract value is £13.1m for the initial 5-year term and £23.58m across the potential 9-year term. Estimated Out of Area (OOA) income (c. £350,000 per annum) is excluded from the guaranteed value because it is non-guaranteed, activity-dependent income not funded through the Swindon Public Health Grant; OOA income will be retained by the provider and must be reinvested to support delivery of the commissioned service.
