Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council is inviting eligible providers to tender for the provision of primary care services within local GP surgeries and pharmacies in Bristol. The procurement process, currently in the tender stage, seeks services in three specific lots: Sexual Health Services, NHS Health Checks, and Substance Use Services. These contracts, valued at £16,225,000, span different terms, with some extending up to 9 years. The main industry category is medical practice and related services, and the tender is set to conclude by 30 March 2025, with the contracts commencing on 31 March 2025. The tender process is managed by Saffron Nicholls from Bristol City Council.

This tender presents several opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the healthcare sector, specifically those with expertise in sexual health, preventative health checks, and substance use treatment. Businesses specialising in these services are well-suited to compete, as the tender is not a framework and allows direct awards based on the providers' eligibility. Interested businesses need to express their interest and complete necessary eligibility forms, guaranteeing a thorough review process by the council’s commissioning team. This procurement provides a stable and potentially long-term contract, fostering business growth and contributing to public health improvements in Bristol.
