## Summary

London Borough of Newham is seeking pharmacy providers for a public health service covering smoking cessation, sexual health services, needle exchange, naloxone provision and supervised consumption. Sexual health provision includes condom distribution and sexually transmitted infection screening. The specification sets out the service aims and outcomes, accessibility and referral routes, priority populations, interventions, quality standards, staff training, assurance and governance, and tariffs. The Council may add services or amend the existing scope in response to identified need or policy developments, consulting providers. Services are to be delivered in Newham, London. This is health and social care service provision, suited to community pharmacies able to provide several or all of the listed interventions as required.

The Council invited offers through an open procedure for the ninth onboarding round of its Public Health Pharmacy Pseudo-Dynamic Purchasing System. The procurement has reached tender stage. The single lot has an initial four-year contract period, with options to extend by two years and then a further two years. The bid submission deadline set by the Council was 1 February 2027 at 12:00 UTC; the evaluation and bid opening were scheduled for 13:00 UTC that day. Bids must be submitted electronically in English, and variants are not permitted. The award basis and estimated contract value are not stated in the supplied procurement details. The Council intends to review key performance indicators and tariffs annually, with possible amendments.

This opportunity is suited to community pharmacies with the clinical capability and operational capacity to deliver public health interventions through accessible local services. Relevant experience includes smoking cessation support, sexual health provision such as condom distribution and STI screening, needle exchange, naloxone provision and supervised consumption. Providers need to be able to meet service quality and governance requirements, maintain appropriate quality assurance, and ensure staff have the required training and competencies. The specification also addresses referral routes, priority populations and accessibility, so suppliers should be equipped to reach the groups identified and work within the Council’s service model. The system’s scope may evolve as local needs and policy change, with commissioners consulting providers on changes and reviewing performance indicators and tariffs annually.
