Liverpool City Council is seeking a system leader to manage and develop the sexual & reproductive health system across the city, forging critical partnerships with other trusts and organisations, charitable sector organisations and our local population in order to truly improve patient care, pathways and outcomes city-wide. The Council will be actively procuring a new integrated sexual & reproductive health service during 2021. A pre-launch bidder event was held to provide information related to how the residents of Liverpool would like to receive their services. We provided potential bidders with information about the procurement process and what will be required (eg. Model sought, scope of services, the ask) and provided indicative timelines - all this information, updated and final, is in this tender document. This requirement recognises the need for the provider and Liverpool City Council (LCC) to work together to shape the service based on sexual health needs assessment to identify the needs of specific populations within the city. This will include those groups where the burden of sexual ill health is recognised to be greater, but also particularly vulnerable groups, those with protected characteristics and others. The provider must recognise the need to be responsive to changing needs and emerging trends within Liverpool – this may include emerging infections, new technologies, changing population profile, and/or changing behaviours. The service is required to be provided across the city in a range of settings by a multi –disciplinary team of clinical and non-clinical professionals.
