The requirement is for services supporting people affected by unequal access to resources and opportunities. Work is delivered in London. Suppliers seeking to participate must apply through the Council’s Fusion e-tendering portal and complete the qualification questions and tender-specific selection questions. The qualification process covers experience, business integrity, capability and insurance, as well as mandatory and discretionary exclusion grounds. This is a route for suppliers to qualify for relevant work under the vehicle, rather than a description of one defined service project. The process has reached the tender stage: the Council invited offers through an open procedure, with applications submitted electronically in English. This is the thirteenth onboarding round for Category 4. The stated submission deadline was 4 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; the award period and bid opening were scheduled to begin at 13:00 UTC that day. The contract period is 1,500 days, and no monetary value is stated. The procurement is organised as one category, addressing resource inequality. Applicants must complete the qualification stage and selection questions in the Selection Questionnaire; variants are not allowed. The deadline applies to this round, while the vehicle's documents set the round timetable. This opportunity is suited to organisations with demonstrable experience delivering health or social care services that address resource inequality, and with the capability and capacity to meet the Council’s requirements over a long-term vehicle period. Suppliers should be ready to evidence their business integrity and hold the required insurance, alongside answering qualification and selection questions. Both established providers and suppliers seeking to enter this service area may find the onboarding route relevant, provided they can satisfy the qualification requirements and any applicable exclusion checks. The vehicle offers a route to compete for work in this category as relevant needs arise; suppliers should assess the tender documents’ service requirements and qualification questions against their own expertise and delivery capacity. ## Notice This is an opening of the Onboarding Round 13 for Category 4 - Addressing resource inequality Rounds will open and close throughout the lifetime of the Healthy Lives Dynamic Purchasing Vehicle at the Authorities discretion. The initial "Round" for this Healthy Lives Dynamic Purchasing Vehicle will be open for twenty eight (28) calendar days. Following on from this, each "Round" will be open to new or previously unsuccessful Suppliers to submit their bid. A new Round will be opened within forty-eight (48) hours (excluding bank holidays and weekends) of a Round closing. Please note from time to time there may be a further delay in opening a new Round within the stated 48 hours. This means that applications can be submitted throughout the duration of the Healthy Lives Dynamic Purchasing Vehicle, but the Council will only process the applications as and when the round is closed. *Please note the length of Rounds will vary throughout the lifetime of the Healthy Lives Dynamic Purchasing Vehicle and will close at least once in a period of 24 months.
