The purpose of this report is to seek an
exemption from the contract procedure rules as stated in 21.3 (j)
of the rules:
Where an extension for a particular period can be justified, for
example where a Service review includes the intention to
co-terminate relevant Contracts within a reasonable period.
This will ensure continued provision of free Emergency Hormonal
Contraception from Oldham community pharmacies signed up to deliver
the scheme for the period 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022 and will
align future commissioning activity with the tendering exercise for
the Integrated Sexual Health Service which is due to go out to
tender during financial year 2021/22 with a contract start date of
1 April 2022.
