Integrated Sexual Health and HIV Services Contract Extension
The Council are mandated to commission open-access, comprehensive, sexual health services for the population of West Sussex. NHS England is responsible for the provision of HIV treatment and care services.
In September 2019 (Report ref: OKD20 19/20) the Director of Public Health approved the award of the Integrated Sexual Health Service and HIV Services contracts to Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for an initial period of three 3 years, commencing 1st February 2020, with an option to extend for up to two years, in agreement with NHS England. The provider has now merged with a neighbouring NHS trust to become University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust (UHSFT).
This report requests that the Director of Public Health approves the contract extension for the provision of Integrated Sexual Health and HIV Services for the permitted two years from February 1st 2023 to 2025.
