- ensure that patients with needs relating to uncomplicated STIs should have their care

The initial contract term is from 1/12/2023-30/11/2024, with the possibility of up to two 12 months extensions. Contracts with Suppliers will be tariff-based and subject to change, with no minimum guaranteed value, as the service is activity based. However, the estimated total spend including reimbursement of the LARC devices, over 3 years is 4,100,000 GBP.
Kent County Council is looking to appoint Suppliers through a Dynamic Purchasing System, to provide this service. The DPS is for the procurement of social and other services referred to in Regulation 74 of the Public Contracts Regulations (2015) and as such, the intention is to use a Light Touch Regime, rather than the full regime described in Regulation 34 (Dynamic Purchasing System). The deadline for receipt of Initial Tender round was 12 noon on 15 November 2023. The DPS is open for ongoing intake.
