Local authority Public Health commissioning responsibilities in relation to sexual health include a range of interventions including open access sexual health and contraception services, HIV prevention and testing and sexual health promotion. The scope of the services outlined in this specification are sought to fulfil, at a minimum, key responsibilities around HIV prevention, testing and support based on an evolving population need across a number of London boroughs.

This is a Notice of Contract Award of Lot 1: Lot 1 - Adults. The value figure below is the total aggregate value for London Borough of Newham. The other Local Authorities will be contracting individually with the successful provider.

To help align service provision while allowing for borough-level variation, the Framework has been split into two 'Lots': Lot 1 is for Adults. Within Lot 1 there are three separate 'Work Packages' that may be activated independently and at different times by the participating boroughs. The three Work Packages comprising Lot 1 are:

1. Psychosocial Support

2. HIV Prevention, Sexual Health Promotion and Outreach

3. Training, System Leadership and Peer Support

Participating boroughs are expected to call off against Lots (and Work Packages within Lot 1) at different points over the lifetime of the Framework to reflect local priorities and population need.

Each borough will determine the configuration of the service they each commission based on local priorities and need.
