Tender description

Two contracts for the provision of: 1) integrated sexual health service for Public Health Dorset; and 2) specialised HIV treatment service for NHS England. Both contracts are to be delivered within the County of Dorset. Dorset Council procured on behalf of Public Health Dorset and NHS England Specialised Commissioning South West, two jointly commissioned contracts for the provision of: 1) an integrated sexual health service; and 2) a specialised HIV treatment service. Any decision to award from this procurement would be for two separate contracts for the delivery of these services. The contracts were jointly procured, therefore tenders were required for delivery of both services and were evaluated together for one award decision. The estimated contract values were: GBP 4 800 000 for integrated sexual health and GBP 1 698 266.28 GBP for specialised HIV treatment. These sums were the maximum acceptable bid and all tenders that exceed either of these values would be rejected. The maximum value for both contracts, for the maximum potential period of 6 years is GBP 38 989 597.68.
