Modification of Public Health Contracts over £500k: 0-19 Public Health Nursing and Sexual Health Services
From: Cabinet - Thursday, 9th October, 2025 6.30 pm - October 09, 2025
Both 0-19 Children and Young People Public Health Nursing Service and the Integrated Sexual Health Service contracts are currently die to end on 30 September 2026. Due to delays in procurement planning arising from the disaggregation of Public Health functions, approval is sought to extend the Integrated Sexual Health Service contract by 6 months and the 1-19 public Health Nursing Service contract by 12 months.
