Services aimed at improving Sexual Health and have been reviewed with the intention of commissioning them in a form that best matches local need from the start of 2015/16. The results of the review and financial modelling will be presented and a recommendation made for ongoing commissioning.
RESOLVED that the Executive gives approval to extend current contracts of £295,000 per annum with provider Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust for a period of three years (plus 2) with review after 2 years.
To enter into a competitive tendering process. Aside from the service review and needs analysis showing that the current main service provider (BHFT) performs well, the current financial modelling indicates that a tendering process would entail moving from a block contract to a tariff based system that would cost more.
