Focused within the services industry category, particularly health and social work services, this contract aims to enhance the Creative Health sector in Southwark. Businesses interested in the tender should note the key engagement sessions are scheduled for 8th and 13th August 2025, with the new contract expected to start in October 2025. The procurement process is open for market feedback to help refine the service specification, with final expressions of interest due by 15th August 2025. This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs involved in the creative and cultural sectors, especially those focusing on health initiatives. By participating, businesses can not only contribute to shaping the final service specification but also potentially secure a three-year engagement that aligns with SCHWeP's mission of addressing health inequalities. Firms with expertise in coordinating large networks and a commitment to community health development will find this opportunity particularly attractive. The market engagement events serve as a prime platform for interested parties to express interest, share insights, and prepare for the future bidding stages. ## Notice Over the past five years, SCHWeP has grown into a cross-sector, independent network of over 250 creative and cultural providers and stakeholders, working to tackle health inequalities through strengthening the Creative Health sector in Southwark. As we move into the next phase of development, we are preparing to go out to competitive tender for a new three-year contract starting in October 2025.
