## Summary

The London Borough of Newham is seeking suppliers for Category 3 of its Healthy Lives Dynamic Purchasing Vehicle: community projects supporting health and wellbeing. This is a health and social work services opportunity covering delivery in London. The procurement is intended to bring suppliers onto the vehicle so they can provide relevant community-based health and wellbeing projects commissioned by the council. The current onboarding round is Round 13, and suppliers joining the vehicle must apply through the council’s electronic procurement portal. The opportunity is suitable for organisations delivering community health, wellbeing or related social support services, including providers able to demonstrate relevant project experience and the operational capability to deliver these services in a local-authority setting.

The process has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure. This is an onboarding round for a dynamic purchasing vehicle, with one category and one lot covering community projects for health and wellbeing. Offers had to be submitted electronically in English by 12:00 on 6 October 2026. Bid opening and the start of the award period were scheduled for 13:00 the same day. The resulting participation period is 1,500 days, with no renewal or additional purchasing options stated. The evaluation includes a qualification stage requiring information on experience, business integrity, capability and insurance. Suppliers must also complete tender-specific selection questions in the Selection Questionnaire, including questions on mandatory and discretionary exclusion grounds. Variants are not allowed.

This opportunity suits established community health and wellbeing providers, social enterprises, charities and other organisations with a demonstrable record of delivering relevant projects. Bidders need to evidence suitable experience, organisational capability and business integrity, and hold the required insurances. The qualification process also tests mandatory and discretionary exclusion grounds, so suppliers must be able to satisfy public procurement suitability requirements. It is particularly relevant to providers with the capacity to work for a London local authority and to deliver community-based services over a substantial participation period. Organisations with experience in health promotion, prevention, wellbeing support, community engagement or related social care activity are likely to be well placed, provided their evidence addresses the council’s selection questions.
