When this comes round again

London Borough of Newham publishes Health & Social Care work continuously — 79 notices, roughly one every 9 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

22% of London Borough of Newham’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The brief

This is an opening of the Onboarding Round 13 for Category 1 - Specialist smoking cessation service.

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.

Timetables of that Round will be included in the Healthy Lives Dynamic Purchasing Vehicle tender documents when that Round is published.
