The service will support public health responsibilities and primary care duties by enabling residents to access a full range of contraceptive options. The proposed service will include: - Provision of long‑acting reversible contraception (LARC) fittings, removals, and follow‑up care. - Access to contraceptive counselling, information, and sexual health advice. - Ongoing clinical assessment, diagnostics, and prescribing to support contraceptive choices. - Integration with wider sexual and reproductive health pathways, including safeguarding, STI testing, and onward referral services where appropriate. - Support for data reporting, activity monitoring, and service quality assurance aligned with local authority and NHS requirements. The service aims to: - Improve contraceptive access for women and people of reproductive age. - Reduce health inequalities by expanding service availability in primary care settings. - Improve outcomes through earlier intervention, choice, and continuity of care. - Strengthen collaborative working across primary care, public health, community services, and voluntary sector partners. Estimated Contract Value: The authority anticipates the contract value will exceed the £2m threshold that triggers a UK1 Pipeline Notice requirement under the Procurement Act 2023. Planned Procurement Approach: A competitive procurement procedure is expected to be undertaken, in line with the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and related regulations. Market Considerations: Publication of this pipeline notice is intended to: - Provide early visibility to potential providers, including SMEs and VCSE organisations, supporting market readiness and capacity planning. - Stimulate early engagement regarding innovative delivery models, workforce capacity, digital tools, and collaborative pathways. - Support a competitive and diverse supply market for primary care‑led contraceptive services. Estimated Procurement Timeline: - Tender Notice publication: Within the next reporting period, in accordance with UK1 requirements (18‑month visibility window). - Service Commencement: To be confirmed as part of the subsequent tender documentation. - Contract Length: Expected to be a multi‑year arrangement to support service stability and provider investment. Additional Context: This procurement forms part of the authority’s wider public health and primary care commissioning intentions. Similar to other published primary care opportunities-such as the NHS England Primary Care Support Services pipeline notice-services will focus on high‑quality, accessible delivery and robust administrative/clinical governance.
