Lot 2 — The CCG is looking to commission a community Vasectomy Service to undertake vasectomies under local anaesthetic. These services will be accessible to all males who are the responsibility of the CCG. All men requesting a vasectomy should first be fully assessed and counselled to ascertain if the procedure is indeed the most appropriate intervention.

The services will be subject to a contract for 3 years with the potential to extend the contract for up to 2 years and each will be a cost and volume contract; more details are available within the procurement documents.
