## About this tender

### PRIOR INFORMATION NOTICE \*

On 1st April 2013 the responsibility for public health services within the County of Dorset transferred from the NHS to the local authorities of Dorset County Council, Bournemouth Borough Council and the Borough of Poole as part of the changes in the Health and Social Care Act 2012. All authorities working together as Public Health Dorset with Dorset County Council being the host authority.

Dorset County Council is considering seeking tenders for the provision of an integrated sexual health service to be delivered across the County of Dorset.

The specification is being developed in consultation with a range of parties. The service must however assist Public Health Dorset to measure three particular outcomes for sexual health, and work towards reducing:

Chlamydia rates in young people aged 15-24

Under 18 teenage conception rates

### Late diagnosis of HIV

Principles of equity, efficiency and effectiveness shall drive forward commissioning intentions to provide a needs-based service that is preventative, integrated and cost-effective.

See Copy of Prospectus below.

POTENTIAL CONTRACT PERIOD: The likely contract period will be for a maximum of 7 years with a breakpoint at Year 3 with the option to extend for a further two years, then a breakpoint at Year 5 with an option to extend for a further two years.

INDICATIVE VALUE RANGE: At this stage, based on past spend and activity, the indicative 12 month spend value ranges from 5,500,000 to 6,000,000.
