Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Newham is seeking health and social work service providers to join Category 4 of its Healthy Lives Dynamic Purchasing Vehicle, focused on addressing resource inequality. The arrangement is intended for services that help reduce unequal access to support and improve health and wellbeing outcomes. Delivery is in London. Suppliers joining the vehicle must apply through the council’s electronic procurement portal, Fusion, and provide information about their experience, business integrity, capability and insurance arrangements. The opportunity is suitable for organisations delivering relevant health, wellbeing, community or social care services, including providers able to demonstrate how their work addresses inequality in access to resources or support.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submissions in English. This is onboarding Round 12 for Category 4 of a dynamic purchasing vehicle; suppliers apply through a qualification stage and answer selection questions, including mandatory and discretionary exclusion questions. The submission deadline was 6 October 2026 at 12:00, with the award period and bid opening scheduled for 13:00 the same day. The contract period is 1,500 days. The opportunity is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. Bids must not include variants. The procurement is arranged as one lot, covering entry to the vehicle rather than a separately priced service contract.

This opportunity suits established health and social work providers that can show relevant delivery experience, sound business integrity, operational capability and appropriate insurance cover. Applicants will need to complete the council’s qualification questions and the tender-specific selection questions in the Selection Questionnaire, demonstrating that they meet the required standards and are not subject to mandatory or discretionary exclusion grounds. It is relevant to organisations with the capacity to participate in a long-term dynamic purchasing vehicle and to deliver services addressing resource inequality in London. Providers may include specialist community, health, wellbeing and social care organisations, provided they can evidence the experience, governance, resources and resilience needed for public-sector delivery.
