Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Southwark commissioned a network coordinator for the Southwark Culture Health and Wellbeing Partnership (SCHWeP). The service is a coordinated programme of activity to develop the partnership and support its long-term sustainability, while contributing to the wider ambitions of the Creative Health Southwark programme. This is a health and social work service, covering partnership coordination rather than a construction, goods supply or standalone clinical delivery role. The work is for Southwark Council and is delivered in London, with the procurement listing the wider UKI delivery area. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to specialist organisations, social enterprises and experienced independent coordinators working across culture, health and wellbeing.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. It used the light-touch regime and had one lot. The tender closed on 14 September 2025. The lot was evaluated on quality worth 40% and price worth 60%. The contract was signed on 20 October 2025 and runs from 20 October 2025 to 19 October 2028. Its value is £31,000 including any stated gross amount, with the published contract value also £31,000; the tender estimate was £31,000 excluding gross-up and £37,200 including it. The successful supplier is The Bubble Company LTD, a London-based SME and voluntary, community or social enterprise. The contract remains active and relates to the completed single lot.

This award shows that Southwark commissions a dedicated coordinating function to build and sustain a local culture, health and wellbeing network, rather than buying a conventional clinical service. Suppliers seeking similar work should be able to convene and support diverse partnership members, organise a coherent programme of activity, maintain relationships over the long term and connect cultural activity with health and wellbeing outcomes. Experience of creative health or comparable community partnership programmes would make a supplier credible, alongside practical programme coordination, stakeholder communication and delivery management. The buyer’s acceptance of SME and VCSE participation indicates that a focused specialist organisation can compete, provided it can demonstrate reliable coordination capacity, an understanding of Southwark’s local context and the ability to contribute to wider creative health objectives.
