UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

NHS South East London Integrated Care Board intends to procure a Community Ear Wax Removal Service for residents across South East London. The service is expected to provide a safe, accessible and person-centred ear wax removal service for adults who require clinical intervention for the management of impacted ear wax. The future service is intended to improve timely access to care, reduce variation across boroughs, support equitable access for underserved groups, and help reduce avoidable demand on primary and secondary care services. The service is likely to include assessment, ear wax removal procedures, advice and guidance, onward referral where clinically appropriate, and support for people who may struggle to access traditional clinic-based provision, including consideration of domiciliary pathways. The ICB is seeking a provider model that delivers high-quality care, responsive access, strong patient experience, and effective integration with wider audiology, ENT and primary care pathways. Further details regarding service requirements, contract duration and financial envelope will be included within the procurement documents issued at the next stage.

NHS South East London Integrated Care Board (SEL ICB) is seeking to commission a Neighbourhood Homeless Health Hub Service for the London Borough of Bromley. This service builds on the successful three-year Homeless Health Project partnership between Bromley GP Alliance (BGPA) and Bromley Homeless Charity. The service aims to provide trauma-informed, integrated, and accessible healthcare for people experiencing homelessness (PEH), addressing significant health inequalities and barriers to accessing care. The service will operate through a hub-and-spoke model, delivering drop-in clinics, extended appointments, and targeted outreach services. It will support urgent and routine primary care, long-term condition management, mental health support, safeguarding, and referrals into wider health, housing, and social care pathways. The key objectives of the service are to: -Deliver trauma-informed care within safe, inclusive, and non-judgemental environments. -Reduce avoidable A&E attendances, unplanned admissions, and hospital readmissions. -Improve access to primary care, prevention, and management of long-term conditions. -Strengthen integration across primary care, local authority, mental health, voluntary sector, and acute services. -Develop a sustainable and replicable neighbourhood model for reducing health inequalities experienced by people experiencing homelessness.
