Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council commissions the integrated 0–19 Healthy Child Programme, a preventive and early-intervention public health service for children, young people and families in Newcastle upon Tyne. The programme provides a universal service intended to support parents, promote child development and improve the health of children and families. It also aims to identify children, young people and families at risk as early as possible. The contracted service is health and community support work, including specialist public health nursing and rehabilitation-related provision. Contract variations describe additional infant-feeding support, coordination using the Togetherness Approach, and specialist nursing for drugs, alcohol and complex needs. The buyer is Newcastle City Council; the service is delivered in Newcastle upon Tyne.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime, using direct award process C without a prior competition. The original award was confirmed on 30 April 2025 for a term from 1 May 2025 to 31 March 2027, with a stated lifetime value of £11,444,708. The awarded supplier is Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The evaluation basis recorded for the existing-provider selection was whether the provider was satisfying the original contract and was likely to meet the proposed contract to a sufficient standard; quality and price criteria were also recorded. Subsequent contract records show modifications and revised values: £11,591,791 and £11,825,464. These add specialist nursing, infant-feeding support, Togetherness Approach coordination and a pay uplift. The contract is reviewed quarterly.

This award shows that Newcastle City Council buys an integrated, universal 0–19 child-health programme combining prevention, early intervention and targeted support for families at risk. A credible provider would need the capacity to deliver a city-wide service for children, young people and parents, alongside specialist community public health nursing and coordination of focused interventions such as infant feeding and substance-misuse support. The selection favoured continuity: the stated test was whether the existing provider had performed satisfactorily and was likely to deliver the proposed service to a sufficient standard. Competitors would therefore need evidence of dependable performance against an existing service specification, relevant public-health expertise and the ability to integrate additional funded work into established provision. The modifications also indicate that delivery may need to accommodate changing service priorities and grant-funded enhancements.
