This small scale pilot is intended to operate form 4 locations (pharmacies) in Hampshire.

Staff must be discreet and arrange for a member of staff to provide a consultation in a private consultation room.

Young people presenting with a C-Card should be provided with a pack of free condoms.

The Safeguarding Children Partnership Child Sexual Exploitation Risk Questionnaire (CSERQ4) for health practitioners will be completed for young people under 18. The CSERQ4 checklist is intended to help health practitioners in assessing a child's risk and to support their professional judgement on deciding when to make a child protection referral.

About this data
  • Estimates, labelled. The price range, possible competitors and earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards, not published facts, win chances or price advice. The buyer’s own record and the wider market are shown apart, never mixed.
  • Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender and Contracts Finder), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0, updated through the day and rebuilt nightly. Not every figure uses both feeds, and each one shows how many records it rests on: see the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
