Merton Sexual Health Strategy 2020-2025

1 story · 1 council

Merton Council is expanding its sexual health service consortium and procuring a new contract for integrated services.

In September 2025, Merton Council's Cabinet approved broadening its sexual health services consortium to include the London Borough of Sutton, joining existing partners Wandsworth and Richmond upon Thames. This decision aims to create a more streamlined and comprehensive service for residents across the four boroughs.

The council also approved Merton Local Authority's procurement of a new contract for Integrated Sexual Health (ISH) Services for a term of 5.5 years, with an option for a 5-year extension. This action follows an unsuccessful attempt in 2024 to procure an ISH service through a competitive tender process.
