That:

1)        the proposed plan for re-commissioning the mandatory sexual and reproductive health service be agreed;

2)        the authority to award the Integrated Sexual and reproductive Health Services be delegated to the Director of Corporate Services in consultation with the Lead Member for Health and Wellbeing and Adult Social Care.

The Executive considered a report relating to the re-commissioning of the Integrated Sexual and Reproductive Health Service for West Berkshire which was a jointly commissioned service by Wokingham, West Berkshire and Reading Borough Councils.  The procurement of the service was being led by the Berkshire Public Health Shared Service.

The Executive Member for Health and Wellbeing and Adult Social Care emphasised that good sexual and reproductive health and wellbeing was an important contributor to residents’ wellbeing as it was central to some of the most important relationships in people’s lives.  Councillor Batth advised that the current contract for commissioning the Integrated Sexual and Reproductive Health Service was due to run out in April 2020 therefore the report was seeking to agree the proposed plan for re-commissioning the service.

RESOLVED that:

1)        the proposed plan for re-commissioning the mandatory sexual and reproductive health service be agreed;

2)        the authority to award the Integrated Sexual and reproductive Health Services be delegated to the Director of Corporate Services in consultation with the Lead Member for Health and Wellbeing and Adult Social Care.
