Sexual Health Promotion, Prevention and Support Service (Bi-Borough)

Westminster City Council, working jointly with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, is recommissioning a community-based Sexual Health Promotion, Prevention and Support Service across the two boroughs.

The service will deliver a comprehensive model of sexual health promotion, prevention and non-clinical support, with the aim of improving sexual health outcomes and reducing health inequalities. The service forms part of the Councils’ statutory public health responsibilities under the Health and Social Care Act 2012.

The successful provider will be responsible for delivering a range of services, including:

• Universal and targeted sexual health promotion
• Outreach and engagement with priority populations
• Digital and virtual service delivery
• Confidential advice, signposting and support
• Specialist HIV-related support and wellbeing provision
• Integration with clinical sexual health and wider public health services

The service will place a strong emphasis on reducing health inequalities and supporting high-risk or underserved groups, including young people, LGBTQ+ residents, people with learning disabilities and ethnically diverse communities.

The Councils have confirmed that delivery is suitable for partnership-based models and welcome submissions from single providers, consortia and organisations proposing subcontracting arrangements.
