Invitation to Market Engagement Networking Event - Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) Hub provision

Good reproductive health across the life course is a key priority in the Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham Sexual and Reproductive Health Strategy . Including ensuring women have access to the full range of contraceptive options.

Demand for contraception in Lambeth is high and there is a need to increase capacity within the community. To achieve this, the Council wishes to commission a Provider to deliver a Lambeth LARC Hub Service. To provide IUD/S and Implant fitting and removal appointments for any resident registered with a Lambeth GP. The hub will also provide training appointments for interested fitters, supervised by a registered trainer.

Requirements for this service have been informed by service user and clinician feedback. The Council now wish to hear from interested providers to inform the upcoming procurement process by attending our Market Engagement Session. Feedback will used to inform how the new service is commissioned, delivery requirements and procurement outcomes.

We will be hosting a networking event on the following date:

• Friday 10th November at 1pm - 3pm • In person at Lambeth Town Hall, Room 1-04
