Report Title: Permission to Re-Procure a Sexual Health E-Service via the London Sexual Health Programme

Presented by: Councillor Gillian Ford, Cabinet Member for and Wellbeing 

Summary:

This paper seeks permission from Cabinet to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding and subsequent Inter-Authority Agreement with the City of London Corporation to participate in the re-procurement process and subsequent contract for the provision of online services for sexual and reproductive health.

The Council intends to enter into a new five-year agreement via the London Sexual Health Programme led by the City of London Corporation, with an option to extend for up to four additional years (5+2+2). Havering’s spend over the full nine-year term is estimated at £2.7 - £3.1 million, dependant on activity volumes and the optional service modules that the Council choses to activate (if any).
