Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Southwark Wellbeing Hub is being led by NHS South East London Integrated Care Board in collaboration with Southwark Council, aimed at delivering a borough-wide mental health and wellbeing support service. This tender involves an open procedure under the Procurement Act 2023, focusing on services within the community health sector. The initiative encompasses a hub-and-spoke model, integrating community-led support, specialist counselling, and multiple service delivery points across Southwark. Interested parties must note that the tender submission period closes on 5th December 2025, with the award period anticipated to conclude by 13th March 2026. The contract, starting on 1st July 2026, will span three years, with potential extensions, highlighting a significant engagement within the mental health support field in South East London.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities particularly for voluntary and community sector organisations, NHS and statutory providers, and social enterprises that have experience in mental health service delivery. Businesses adept at managing subcontracting and multi-site delivery, with strong governance and data systems, stand to benefit due to the multidisciplinary workforce and subcontracting encouragement within the tender requirements. Furthermore, a notable portion of the funding is dedicated explicitly to culturally competent counselling for global majority communities, making this opportunity ideal for businesses committed to equity, inclusion, and anti-racist practices. Organisations that can support the integration of the service with borough transformation initiatives such as Integrated Neighbourhood Teams will find this procurement especially rewarding.
