This is an update to the PIN previously issued in July 2024 and following the market
engagement session held on the 5 th August 2024. Any further written submissions are
requested by the 16 th August and a new area of interest (point 15) in relation to an evaluation
strategy are included in this updated PIN.
Hackney council, and a number of other local authority areas in London, are anticipating
procuring an online PrEP Service to be in place during 2024/25 and to run for a period of up
to 2years. After the initial phase we envisage online PrEP being part of the online pan
London service that is likely to be commissioned by the London Sexual Health Programme.
We are keen to hear from providers who might want to be part of this pre-procurement
process. Commissioners do not have a defined blueprint about how the service or services
should be configured and delivered – we are keen to hear from the market.
Please note that this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is not a call for competition at this stage.
However, we would like to hear your ideas, particularly about how you might be involved in
helping us to deliver our mandatory Public Health responsibilities, in flexible, responsive,
cost-effective ways.
