## Summary

The London Borough of Newham has conducted a successful procurement process for vitamin D supplements aimed at residents aged 65 and over as part of a public health initiative. The tender, classified under the health and social work services category, was initiated with a limited procurement method and called for competitive quotations. The tender period concluded on 18 October 2021, and the contract has been awarded to B R Pharmaceuticals Ltd, with a total value of £41,822. The contract commenced on 1 November 2021 and will run until 30 April 2022, with distribution planned through community settings within Newham, London (postal code E16 2QU).

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the pharmaceutical and health services sector to engage with local authorities and expand their market presence. Businesses that specialise in providing health-related products, particularly those focusing on community health initiatives, could find this context especially suitable for participation. The limited procurement approach allows for competitive players in the market to respond effectively, potentially fostering further business growth in public health supply chains.

## Notice

Public Health was granted financial approval to introduce a universal offer of free vitamin D supplements for residents aged 65 years and above. It is a 6-month pilot. Supplements will be provided via community settings such as libraries, faith groups and adult social care settings and local primary care partners. To deliver the pilot, Newham Council needs to procure vitamin D supplements to distribute to the public.
