UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Bromley is planning future sexual health services for residents in Bromley, delivered through two separate service contracts. Lot 1 is a clinical sexual health service covering specialist consultant-led sexually transmitted infection and HIV services, contraception, assessment, diagnosis and treatment. Lot 2 is an outreach, prevention and community engagement service covering prevention, outreach, health promotion, early intervention and targeted support to reduce inequalities and improve access. The redesigned model is intended to strengthen prevention and community-based support while allowing specialist clinical services to focus on residents requiring higher-threshold care. This is a health and social care services procurement, with delivery in Bromley. The proposed service model represents a change from the current integrated arrangement.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a supplier market engagement exercise, not an invitation to tender. The council expects to publish the tender in March 2027 and currently anticipates service contracts running from 1 April 2028 to 31 March 2033. The estimated total value is £6,725,000 excluding VAT and £8,070,000 including VAT. The procurement is expected to be an above-threshold light-touch services procedure, divided into two lots. A market engagement event is scheduled online via Microsoft Teams for 13 October 2026, from 13:00 to 14:30. Suppliers wishing to attend are expected to return the registration form by 12:00 noon on 8 October 2026. The council is seeking feedback on the service specification, commissioning strategy and procurement approach.

The planned procurement should suit providers of NHS, community or public health services with relevant sexual health expertise, whether focused on specialist clinical delivery, prevention and outreach, or both. Lot 1 is likely to suit organisations able to provide consultant-led STI and HIV assessment, diagnosis and treatment alongside contraception services, with the clinical governance, qualified workforce and operational capacity needed for higher-threshold care. Lot 2 should suit providers experienced in health promotion, early intervention, community engagement, targeted outreach and reducing inequalities, including voluntary, community and social enterprises. The council has expressly identified both lots as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Suppliers can use the planned engagement to understand expectations and help shape the future model before preparing for the tender.
