The Director of Public Health approved authority to proceed with a competitive procurement process, as outlined in this report and in line with Contract Procedure Rules (CPRs) 3.1.7, to procure a suitable provider/consortium to deliver a new Sexual Health Improvement Service for most at risk populations for HIV, for a period of 5 years commencing 1st April 2022 (with an option to extend for a period of up to 36 months in any combination) with a maximum budget of £276,370 per annum (£2,210,960 for the overall contract period).
Furthermore, the Director of Public Health noted that a report will be submitted for approval at the end of the procurement process to approve the contract award, which will be a direct consequence of this key decision and will therefore be a significant operational decision at most, which will not be subject to call in.
