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 Long Acting Reversible
Contraception (LARC) via Primary Care (General Practices) signed up
to deliver the scheme for the period 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022
and to 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.
