Integrated sexual and reproductive health services

The public procurement process for integrated sexual and reproductive health services was conducted by the London Borough of Southwark, a regional authority in London, United Kingdom. Classified under health and social work services, this procurement falls under the services industry category. The contract was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the absence of competition for technical reasons and the limited number of suitable providers in the market.

The procurement process is now in the award stage, with Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust being the successful supplier, earning a contract valued at £12,300,000 signed on 14th October 2025. The project's execution is regionally focused within the UKI44 area. This procurement opportunity represents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in health services, although competition was limited due to technical constraints.

The process favoured economic operators with specialised capabilities, underlining a prime opportunity for large health service providers capable of delivering specialised, integrated services. Organisations like large NHS trusts that already possess the necessary infrastructure and expertise are well-positioned to participate in similar opportunities, where the procurement methods align with their service capabilities and market presence.
