A further breakdown of expected activity numbers per area can be found in the Soft Market Testing Questionnaire. There is an expectation that the successful bidder will seek to continually improve the quality of services for its customers, particularly learning from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Providers will also be expected to develop pathways and partnerships with other sexual and reproductive health providers, preventing duplication and fragmentation for its customers.
