Description

Tenders are invited for the supply of Integrated Sexual Health and Sexual Health Outreach, HIV Prevention and Support Services across Greater Lincolnshire, which incorporates the administrative counties of Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire. This procurement is being undertaken by Lincolnshire County Council for and on behalf of Lincolnshire County Council, North and North East Lincolnshire Councils. The tender is split into three lots: Lot 1 - Integrated Sexual Health Services for Lincolnshire (Lincolnshire County Council) Lot 2 - Integrated Sexual Health Services for Northern Lincolnshire (North and North East Lincolnshire Councils) Lot 3 - Sexual Health Outreach, HIV Prevention and Support Services across Greater Lincolnshire (Lincolnshire County Council, North and North East Lincolnshire Councils) A 'Greater Lincolnshire' approach is being utilised for this tender, as a joint vision between Lincolnshire County Council, North East Lincolnshire Council and North Lincolnshire Council to ensure consistency in the provision of sexual health services for the population of the Greater Lincolnshire area. This approach aims to deliver more joined up services with a single service specification and hence more consistency in service models and digital interfaces. This approach also allows autonomy within each organisation to contract manage the service provider(s) via separate ISHS contracts for Lincolnshire and Northern Lincolnshire respectively, whilst retaining a shared vision and service specification. The approach ensures that for those living close to or on the borders between the three authorities, and who may travel across the Council boundaries for sexual health services, see consistency in service provision and in health promotion messaging.
