Tender: Swindon Integrated Sexual Health Services Contract – Start 1 April 2027, up to 9 years

About

Swindon Borough Council is seeking a supplier for the provision of Integrated Sexual Health Services under a competitive Provider Selection Regime (PSR) process. The council has a statutory duty to commission open-access sexual and reproductive health services and this single-lot model will deliver clinical services, digital access, postal testing, Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) in GP settings, outreach and prevention, reflecting a shift toward digital-first, outcomes-based, prevention-focused sexual health systems. The initial contract term is 60 months with an option to extend for a further 48 months (two periods of 24 months) for a potential total contract term of 9 years, starting 1 April 2027. The guaranteed contract value is £13.1m across the initial 5-year term and £23.58m across the potential 9-year term. For transparency, this value excludes estimated Out of Area (OOA) income (c.£350,000 per annum), which is non-guaranteed, activity-dependent income that will be retained by the provider and mandatorily reinvested to support delivery; the exclusion separates guaranteed commissioner funding from non-guaranteed activity-based income.
