Tender: Re-opening of Framework for Prevention and Support Services for HIV, STIs and Other BBVs – London Borough of Newham (4+4 years from 10 March 2025)

About

London Borough of Newham is seeking suitably experienced and qualified organisations to join a re-opened Framework for Prevention and Support Services related to HIV, STIs and other blood-borne viruses (BBVs). The Framework runs for 4 years plus an optional 4-year extension, starting 10 March 2025, and is being procured under an open procedure. It is split into five lots covering: Lot 1 prevention and/or support for adults; Lot 2 support for families; Lot 3 connection to care from screening and diagnosis through to treatment access; Lot 4 specialist support services (for example support for PLWHIV based in Specialist HIV Treatment Services); and Lot 5 outreach and/or communications for BBVs and/or STIs. The Authority intends to re-open the Framework in whole or in part (certain lots) up to twice per year to accept tenders from new organisations or allow existing organisations to apply for additional lots, and may amend that frequency. There is no exclusivity or volume guarantee, organisations may apply for more than one lot, and there is no limit on the number of organisations that can be awarded per lot provided they meet the minimum criteria; the host Borough is the London Borough of Newham and the Framework is for the benefit of the Authority and Partner Organisations (all London local authorities and Health Partners including ICPs, ICBs, ICSs and NHS Trusts). Previous successful bidders are not required to re-submit.
