South London Healthcare Trust, which runs three hospitals in the capital, was put in the hands of special administrator Matthew Kershaw last month because it was losing more than ?1 million a week.
On Thursday, Mr Kershaw announced that he had invited providers of NHS-funded care - including both NHS organisations and private companies - to submit expressions of interest.
That could mean firms including Virgin Care, Serco and Circle bidding for the contract to run the trust, which has a turnover of ?424 million.
Mr Kershaw wrote that he was ?seeking to identify any parties who may be interested in being part of one or more of the solutions?.
That indicates different services could be hived off to be run by different providers.
