Bromley Sexual Health Market Engagement Event
Authority: London Borough of Bromley (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe London Borough of Bromley is seeking feedback from suppliers ahead of a planned procurement for future Sexual Health Services in Bromley to provide information on the proposed service model and procurement approach.
A supplier market engagement Event has been scheduled for Tuesday 13th October 2026 between 13:00 and 14:30. The event will be delivered online via Microsoft Teams.
The proposal is for the future service to be delivered through two separate contracts, representing a change from the current integrated model:
- Lot 1: Clinical Sexual Health Service – specialist consultant-led STI, HIV
and contraception services, assessment, diagnosis and treatment.
- Lot 2: Outreach, Prevention and Community Engagement Service –
prevention, outreach, health promotion, early intervention and targeted
support to reduce inequalities and improve access.
The redesigned model aims to strengthen prevention and community-based support while ensuring specialist clinical services focus on residents requiring higher-threshold care. The procurement timetable is currently indicative, with publication of the tender anticipated in March 2027. Providers interested in shaping the future service are encouraged to attend the market engagement event.
The event will provide an opportunity to:
- Receive an update on the Council’s commissioning intentions for the
Bromley Sexual Health Service.
- Learn more about the proposed service delivery model and expectations
for future delivery of the Service.
- Explore supplier interest in the proposed procurement
- Understand the anticipated procurement process, timelines and next
steps.
Organisations wishing to attend should complete the Registration Form attached to the opportunity on the London Tenders Portal (ProContract) reference ID; DN829449, and return the completed form via the message function on the London Tenders Portal no later than 12:00 noon on Thursday 8th October 2026.
Microsoft Teams joining instructions will be issued to registered attendees in advance of the session.

How London Borough of Bromley buys Health and social work services (CPV 85), and who usually turns up
London Borough of Bromley’s published record next to the market for the same work. Frameworks and DPS are left out: they draw different bid counts. Whole-market view: Health and social work services (CPV 85) →
How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered. The market figure counts awards delivered in Greater London.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards have an award date within 111 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.
How many bids did past lots attract?
i
How many bids past lots received.
Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.
Past bids do not predict this tender.

How did awards compare with estimates?

Where winning prices landed against estimates.

Past prices are a guide, not a bid price.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
