Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Healthy Child Programme in Leicestershire and Rutland has been a collaborative effort headed by Leicestershire County Council and Rutland County Council. This programme aims to improve the health and well-being of children aged 0-19, and up to 25 for those with special educational needs. The procurement has proceeded through planning to tender and has reached the issuance of awards, with the Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust recently securing the 0-11 Healthy Child Programme contract. This project is classified under health services, focusing on universal and targeted interventions driven by both evidence-based and innovative solutions. The procurement method followed was an open procedure. The contract commenced on 1 May 2022, with the award being valued at £44,197,932 GBP, and covers the geographical region UKF22, excluding Leicester City. Key performance aims include improving public health outcomes in line with the Public Health Outcomes Framework.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in delivering health services, especially those that can provide family-centred and innovative health solutions. Companies specialising in early intervention, health improvement, and public health service integration could thrive in this environment. The Healthy Child Programme requires a robust provider capable of working collaboratively with local authorities and stakeholders to address health inequalities and contribute to positive child development outcomes. Service providers who can demonstrate flexibility, accessibility, and a strong partnership-building capacity are well-positioned to benefit from this initiative. Furthermore, businesses with experience in deploying digital health services have an opportunity for growth, given the programme's interest in expanding accessible digital services for families.

Lot Information

0-11 Healthy Child Programme (for Leicestershire County Council and Rutland County Council)

The Councils sought an organisation to provide the Services across Leicestershire and Rutland. The Programme aim is to help parents develop and sustain a strong bond with children and support them in keeping children healthy and safe and reaching their full potential. We want to identify issues early so support and early interventions can be provided in a timely manner. Address key health and wellbeing concerns that focus on the health needs of children and young people ensuring they are ready for school. This will be achieved by: * Ensuring the service is accessible, responsive and flexible to meet the needs of children, young people and their families. * Ensure a strong focus on prevention, health improvement, early identification of needs, early intervention and clear packages of support. * Working with key partners and stakeholders and ensuring integration of the service into existing structures. * Making use of evidence-based approaches to target support and prevent escalation. * Making every contact count, using every contact opportunity to provide families with educational health messages, build their health literacy and ensure consistent messages are given that underpin the wider integration agenda in Leicestershire and Rutland. * Building strong partnership, integration, communication and multi-agency approach to working with children and their families in placed-based settings. Whilst there are demographic differences between the two geographical areas (Leicestershire and Rutland), a shared evidence-based approach to addressing health inequalities across the sub-region is being adopted. As such, the service specification is identical for Leicestershire County Council and Rutland County Council, with the exception of key highlighted local priorities for each of the county councils. The Service will be an open access service for all children and their families in Leicestershire (excluding Leicester City) and Rutland who are seeking support for their families at an individual, family and community level.
