Description

Cheshire East Council seeks to commission a Lead Provider for the management, coordination and provision of an Integrated Sexual Health Service primarily for the residents of the Borough of Cheshire East. The Service will be managed by one single Provider who may deliver the service through a series of sub-contracts or partnership arrangements.
The Service will:
• Aim to build an open culture where everyone is able to make informed and responsible choices about relationships and sex;
• Take the lead in reducing health inequalities and improving sexual health outcomes;
• Play a key role in delivering both preventative and treatment interventions that will allow people to make informed decisions about relationships, sex and reproductive health, building personal resilience and promoting healthy choices;
• Aim to improve sexual health by delivering a range of interventions across the life course, with a focus on community based preventative services that will reduce the demand on specialist services;
• Provide open and easy access to evidence-based, cost-effective, high quality contraception and prevention services as well as the diagnosis and management of sexually transmitted infections;
• Deliver both clinic based activity and outreach, and will identify targeted locations and convenient times to ensure that high risk groups are supported to achieve good sexual health;
• Ensure that it provides equitable access to services across the geography of Cheshire East. https://www.the-chest.org.uk
