## About this tender

### THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION

Leicester City Council (the Authority) are currently considering options for the future design and procurement of their Integrated Sexual Health Services (ISHS). The current contractual arrangement expires on 31 March 2024. The Authority therefore anticipates commencing the procurement of ISHS in spring 2023 with a view for the proposed new ISHS to be operational from 1 April 2024.

As a part of this process, the commissioners of this service are keen to capture provider experience, skills, knowledge and concerns at an early point to ensure these can be fully considered throughout the service and procurement design phases.

At a high level, sexual health services will typically include elements of:

â&#128;¢ Contraceptive services,

â&#128;¢ Psychosexual services (sexual health aspects),

â&#128;¢ Sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing and treatment, Online STI testing and some treatment, Emergency Hormonal Contraception (EHC) and Oral contraception

â&#128;¢ Young people's specific services,

â&#128;¢ Outreach models (both clinical and non-clinical) and health promotion,

â&#128;¢ Professional training (including clinical staff),

â&#128;¢ Network management, and

â&#128;¢ Sexual health leadership across the city of Leicester.

The Authority is therefore undertaking a soft market test. This gives potential providers and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views about the potential service model and specification principles. The Authority will use the information to appraise options and further develop the specification.

The Soft Market Testing questionnaire can be found by copying and pasting the following web link into your web browser:

This completed questionnaire must be returned electronically by email before or no later than 14:00 hours on 31 January 2023 to  with the subject heading: 'Completed SMT Q - LCC ISHS.

This process does not constitute a formal tender or other competitive bidding process and will not result in the letting of a Contract. The authority is using this process solely to test the market to gather information and ascertain the level of interest in this service. There are therefore no formal criteria which we will use to judge your responses and it is not our intention to provide any feedback.
