Newham Council is the North East London (NEL) lead for all matters related to the commissioning of Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) services.
The need for HIV and BBV Prevention and Support services remains clear: new cases of HIV are rising, the proportion of residents diagnosed with HIV at a late stage also increases (especially among Black African residents) and the complexity of HIV support needs is increasing as People Living with HIV (PLWHIV) become older, poorer and develop additional co-morbidities.
The Council has committed to tackling HIV via the London-wide ‘Fast Track Cities’ programme and the ‘50 Steps’ Health and Wellbeing Strategy and wishes to work with the market across London to develop its thinking prior to setting up new HIV and BBV Prevention and Support Framework on behalf of all Local Authorities and health partners across London.
Commissioners will be holding a market engagement event for providers to share their experiences and insights. This is an opportunity to reflect, provide feedback, and help inform the ongoing development of the service.
Please note that attendance is limited to two people from each organisation. Providers must register their interest no later than 17:00 30th of September 2025
