Integrated Sexual and Reproductive Health Services; Sexual Health eServices; and HIV Care and Treatment in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough

This notice is issued as an update to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Prior Information Notice (PIN) of the same title published on 31 July 2019 and the subsequent updates of 13 August and 5 September 2019.

This update serves to invite interested parties, from across the market of provider organisations in the field of sexual and reproductive health; digital sexual health services; and HIV Care & Treatment, to register for a Bidders Event being held on Friday 24 January 2020.

The Bidders Event will run from 10:00 - 14:00, at:

Wood Green, The Animals Charity King's Bush Farm

Godmanchester, PE29 2NH

In order to register interest; to ensure all further updates are received; and to receive a direct invitation to submit against any forthcoming ITT, interested parties are asked to register at https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=4107fb3b-6eb3-e911-80f8-005056b64545&p=4d8cb5a5-74dc-e511-810e-000c29c9ba21.

Please note: this PIN is not an invitation to tender, or a request for formal expressions of interest.

Any future procurement, and subsequent contract award, will be undertaken in line with the requirements of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 and the Council's Contract Rules; and it is the current intention of parties that any resulting contract will run from 1st October 2020 for a maximum of five years to 30th September 2025 (Years 4 and 5 will be available by way of extensions where granted by the commissioner).

It is currently intended that the proposed procurement will contain two Lots:

Potential Providers will be welcome to bid for one or both Lots, with the commissioning authorities comfortable with awarding to either one provider to deliver both Lots; or two different providers.

Though the scope, and therefore the potential value, of the contracts available are still being agreed; at this time the Authority expects the combined value to be no less than £34,860,000 over the lifetime of the contracts to be put-out to tender.

Additional information: Noting that registration can only take place through the LGSS Procurement Portal, address above, should any organisation wish to discuss this opportunity further they should contact:
