Summary of the contracting process

Southwark Council, a sub-central government public authority based in London, has completed the procurement process titled "Integrated Community Equipment" under a direct award method. This process was necessitated by the imminent liquidation of the existing contractor to ensure uninterrupted community equipment services. The contract was awarded to PROVIDE EQUIPMENT HUB LIMITED, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Croydon. This tender, classified under health and social work services, is part of a light-touch regime and covered services across the region of UKI. The contract, valued at £13,500,000 gross, commenced on 29th August 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st July 2027, with a possibility for extension up to 31st July 2028, subject to performance evaluation.

This tender opens doors for SMEs, especially those specialising in health and community service provisions, to explore growth opportunities by ensuring business continuity in public service delivery. Companies capable of offering flexible and rapid adaptation to changing contract requirements, as demonstrated by PROVIDE EQUIPMENT HUB LIMITED, are well-positioned to compete effectively. This specific procurement may appeal to social enterprises and community-focused organisations looking to expand their service footprint, particularly in emergency or transitioning service scenarios.
