UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

The East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub has established a multi-lot Social Impact Framework to support the commissioning of services that address health inequalities and the wider determinants of health. This notice relates to the first reopening of the open framework under the Procurement Act 2023. The reopening allows new suppliers to apply to join the framework and existing suppliers to apply for additional Lots where relevant. The framework provides a compliant and structured route for NHS organisations, Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), local authorities, and other public sector bodies to procure community-based services. It is designed to strengthen collaboration with VCSEs, SMEs, and specialist providers, with the aim of improving early access to support and reducing pressure on acute services. The framework focuses on three core themes: Voice & Influence: Enabling people and communities to shape services, exercise choice, and be active participants in decision-making. Community-Led Services for Social Impact: Supporting services led by local organisations and communities, with a focus on addressing locally identified needs. Prevention & Cessation: Commissioning services that focus on prevention, early intervention, and supporting people to make positive changes, reducing demand for crisis or acute care. Services may include, but are not limited to, support relating to mental health, housing, employment, financial inclusion, domestic abuse, and wider prevention services.
