Description

NHS Sussex ICB (covering the patient population of West Sussex, Brighton & Hove, and East Sussex) are pleased to announce the procurement of a new Community Vasectomy Service from 1st April 2025. The aim of this service is to provide a complete, holistic, patient focused care package, including pre- and post-operative care, information, advice, and counselling. The service is offered via an NHS Standard Contract for a primary period of 5 years with up to 3 additional years extension period at the sole discretion of the Commissioner. A maximum annual contract value of £650,000 has been set, with a maximum total contract value of £5,200,000 over the 8 year maximum possible duration. Providers should be appropriately CQC registered. Providers will be responsible for the provision and funding of the post vasectomy semen analysis (PVSA). This must be undertaken at a recognized laboratory testing provider complying with World Health Organization (WHO) guidance that also has UKAS ISO 15189 accreditation. Providers are required to have a minimum annual turnover 1.5x greater than the annual contract value i.e. greater than £975,000. In order to facilitate joint bids, partnerships and development of subcontracting arrangements, the Commissioners will be maintaining a Provider Information directory for the duration of the tender preparation window. This is designed to assist Providers of all sizes and from all market segments (e.g. SMEs and VCSEs) to actively collaborate and participate in providing this service. The deadline for receipt of tenders is 12 p.m. on 9th September 2024.
