Summary of the contracting process

NHS South East London Integrated Care Board procured the Lambeth Community Denosumab Service, a community-based shared-care healthcare service for administering and monitoring denosumab 60mg/ml for osteoporosis. The service covers patients identified by secondary care as clinically suitable for community treatment who are Lambeth residents or registered with a Lambeth GP. The provider is responsible for blood monitoring, prescribing support and timely denosumab injections, while clinical responsibility remains with secondary care. Delivery takes place in community healthcare settings in Lambeth, within the South East London osteoporosis pathway and shared-care arrangements. The procurement falls within medical personnel services (CPV 85141000) and is intended to support care closer to home and a better patient experience.

The contract was formally awarded to Lambeth Healthcare Ltd on 19 May 2026 under the Provider Selection Regime’s Direct Award Process C, without competition. The contract value is £49,140 excluding VAT. The initial contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 30 November 2026, with an option for one further six-month extension, potentially continuing to 31 May 2027. The award followed a standstill period ending at 23:59 on 12 May 2026, during which providers could submit representations. The existing provider was selected because it was meeting the service, clinical, quality and performance requirements, with continuity of care considered essential. No competitive award criteria were applied.

This requirement is relevant to established healthcare providers able to deliver community-based osteoporosis shared care, rather than general medical staffing suppliers. A credible provider would need clinical capability in denosumab administration, blood monitoring and prescribing support, with robust arrangements for referrals from secondary care and treatment at appropriate intervals. It would also need to work within the South East London Shared Care Agreement and osteoporosis pathway, follow NICE TA204, and serve Lambeth residents or patients registered with Lambeth GP practices. The selected supplier demonstrated sustained high-quality performance, timely patient contact within 72 hours, patient information and reminder processes, incident reporting, service-user feedback, sound financial management and consistently strong patient satisfaction.
