Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, spearheaded by Worcestershire County Council, involves modifications and the formal awarding of a contract under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract titled "Public Health Nursing Services for Children, Young People aged 0-19 and their Families" pertains to community health services. This initiative, located in Worcestershire (UKG12), is in the award and contract update stage, with key activities dated from 2025. The contract was modified effective from 7th August 2025, with an approximate lifetime value now adjusted to £61,497,170 following an amendment to augment services. The procurement follows a direct award process, notably without prior call for competition, and complies with the Provider Selection Regime excluding Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provisions.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for established service providers with a focus on community health and early intervention services. The integration of additional funding implies a demand for specialists such as SEND-focused health visitors and expanded infant feeding support, lending itself well to businesses adept in delivering multifaceted health services. Firms with strong expertise in community-based health services and a capability to implement innovative health programs can potentially benefit. The demand for coordinated, evidence-based interventions highlights a preference for organisations capable of working collaboratively with multi-agency teams to improve holistic health outcomes, thus fostering a service-oriented mesh beneficial for capable service providers.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Public Health Nursing Services for Children, Young People aged 0-19 and their Families

The Authority has followed Direct Award Process C for the award of the Public Health Nursing Service for Children, Young People aged 0-19 and their Families. This process has been undertaken in accordance with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and the Council's Constitution and Standing Orders.

Lot Information

Lot 1

An additional PS170,000 per annum is to be made available to the Trust. The additional funding will enable the Trust to recruit specialist SEND focused health visitors, to provide a focused intervention for children that have been identified at the 2.5-year check as requiring support with development or SEND needs. The roles will add an additional layer of early intervention to ensure those with higher levels of need can get the right support early and potentially avoid unnecessary delays on wider service waiting lists. This layer of early intervention is required within our current system to improve outcomes for children with higher levels of developmental need. Additional capacity will also allow the infant feeding team to expand, enabling the commencement of a new pilot delivering group-based support for parents-to-be to prepare for breastfeeding. Currently capacity only allows the service to deliver support postnatally, however evidence shows if we can more effectively prepare families with information and guidance to breastfeed before they give birth, and build support networks, they are more successful in their breastfeeding journey. Worcestershire is currently performing worse than the national picture regarding breastfeeding rates at 6 weeks. This is something as a county we need to improve to improve health outcomes for babies and mothers.

Options: Option to extend by one year followed by a further one year extension; subject to funding and performance.
