Report of the Director of Public Health, seeking approval to enter into an inter Authority Agreement to access the new Pan-London Online Sexual Health Service

The Leader considered the recommendation presented which would involve the Council entering into an Inter Authority Agreement (IAA) to access the new pan-London Online Sexual Health Service contract procured by the City of London as the final part of the London Sexual Health Transformation Programme (LSHTP).

The city of London, as the procuring/lead authority has recently approved the award of contract for the online service to Preventx Limited. The contract will commence on 1^st June 2017 and will run for an initial term of 5 years with options to extend for 4 further one year periods. The Councils estimated spend on this service over the initial 5-year term is £1,527,888 with a first year spend of up to £95,962 (depending on uptake of the service) and a total estimated spend of up to £3,294,388 over the maximum 9-year lifetime of the contract (depending on uptake of the service).

RESOLVED

That the Leader, for the reasons set out in the report:

• Agreed to the Council entering an inter-Authority Agreement (IAA) with the City of London and up to 30 other London authorities in order to access the new pan-London online sexual health service under a contract recently awarded by the City of London to Preventx Limited
• Agreed that the Council commits, in accordance with the terms of the IAA, to accessing the online service under the City of London-Preventx Ltd contract at an estimated service cost of £1,527,888 for the initial 5-year contract term and a further maximum estimated service cost of £1,766,500 over 4 additional 1-year periods for which the contract may be extended resulting in a maximum estimated Haringey service provision spend of £3,294,388 over the maximum 9-year contract duration.
• Agreed that, subject to paragraph 3.4 of the report, the Councils commits, in accordance with the terms of the IAA to making a financial contribution to the City of London for its contract management role in an estimated maximum amount of £122,412 over the maximum 9-year contract duration.
• Agreed that authority be delegated to the Director of Public Health to agree the final terms of the IAA with the City of London and other authorities including in particular the length and cost (within the maximum referred to in paragraph 3.3 of the report) of the Councils use of City of London’s contract management services.

Alternative options considered

The Public Health team could have acted outside of the London Sexual Health Transformation Programme (LSHTP) and procured as a single local authority. However it chose to be part of the LSHTP which is a partnership between 30 London boroughs with the purpose of creating a collaborative approach to commissioning sexual health services. The LSHTP case for change and business case demonstrated that the level of improvement in quality and cost reduction that all London clinics needed could only be obtained by commissioning at scale.  For this reason Haringey gained agreement from Cabinet in December 2015 to become a participating member of the pan-London online sexual health service and to  ...  view the full minutes text for item 43.
