Work description
It is an exciting time for Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham's (LSL) Sexual Health Outreach work. Lambeth is intending to commission Outreach Services across LSL with the aim to improve access and outcomes of populations disproportionately at risk of sexual and reproductive ill health. These populations are also known to face challenges and barriers in accessing mainstream services.
LSL face some of the greatest sexual health challenges in England. Lambeth and Southwark respectively have the highest and second highest rates of new STI diagnoses in London, with all three boroughs having rates significantly higher than the national average (OHID Fingertips Tool 2022).
The Authorities are seeking to commission a Sexual Health Outreach Service and the intension is that the service will be procured as three separate contracts (three lots). These lots will work together as part of an alliance. The three target groups for the services include: • Lot 1: People's Sexual and Reproductive Health and HIV Outreach. • Lot 2: Sexual and Reproductive Health and HIV Support for Marginalised Groups • Lot 3: Targeted Sexual and Reproductive Health and HIV prevention for Black African, Black Caribbean, Latin American and other Minoritised Ethnic Groups.
