Summary of the contracting process

The National Lottery Community Fund has conducted a procurement process titled "C0156 - Black Health Inequalities Summit 2026," focusing on addressing health inequalities affecting Black communities in the UK. This event falls under the services industry category, specifically event services, and will take place throughout the UK. As a direct award, the procurement completion date was 17th April 2026, with the contract period extending from 20th April to 5th May 2026. The procurement was executed via a direct method without competition due to the specific requirement for a partner like the Caribbean & African Health Network (CAHN), the only suitable organiser. The buying organisation is located in Birmingham and classified as a public authority under sub-central government.

This tender represents a pivotal opportunity for businesses in the event services sector, particularly SMEs, to engage in partnerships that support community-focused initiatives. Although the direct award limits competition, enterprises looking to expand their reach in health-related event organisation and community care models can benefit by networking with influential entities like The National Lottery Community Fund. Such collaborations enhance visibility and open channels for future projects within NHS frameworks addressing systemic health inequities, fostering growth for businesses with expertise in health data outcomes, commissioning strategies, and equality duty implementation.
