Somerset Council is looking to assess market interest in the provision of HIV community services providing targeted HIV prevention and outreach interventions for people most at risk and underserved populations. The service will include some limited provision of support to people newly diagnosed with HIV. The service will provide training aimed at those working with adults to raise awareness of HIV, reduce stigma and decrease barriers to service access. The potential value of the service is a maximum of £70,000 per year.
