Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Southwark has awarded a contract for the provision of a Digital Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (DPrEP) service, aimed at improving residents' access to PrEP. This procurement, classified under the Health and Social Work Services category, involves services located within the region UKI44 (London). The procurement was conducted via a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the specialised nature of the service which is offered by only a few organisations due to technical reasons. The contract, valued at £41,952, was awarded to Preventx Limited on 20th January 2026 after a procurement process initiated on the same day. The process is recorded as complete, with the service provision actively underway.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the digital health sector, particularly those capable of delivering specialised health services like DPrEP. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) similar to Preventx Limited, which offer unique and technically specialised services, are well-positioned to compete in such tenders due to the limited competition in this niche market. The focus on digital health solutions reflects a growing demand in public health, presenting a gateway for tech-driven health service providers seeking to expand their operations and engage with public sector clients. Despite the limitations regarding competition, businesses that can offer tailored, innovative solutions stand to benefit substantially from such contracts.
