Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process conducted by West Sussex County Council, based in Chichester, UK, focused on Oral Health Training & Promotion in the Early Years across the region. The procurement, categorised under Health and Social Work Services, was completed under a direct award method due to the contract being below the threshold, thus not requiring competition. The contract, worth £37,000, commenced on 1st September 2025 and will end on 31st August 2026. The awarded contract was part of a light touch regime and was specifically aimed at implementing supervised toothbrushing schemes in early years settings across West Sussex. This procurement stage has been concluded with the contract already signed and active, signified by its completion status.

This tender creates significant opportunities for organisations involved in health and social services, particularly those with expertise in early years and community health promotion. Businesses like educational trainers and community health service providers, large or small, can leverage their understanding of public health improvements to engage in similar tenders. By positioning their services to offer cutting-edge and impactful health training programmes, such companies can foster relationships with local governments and expand their offerings to a broader clientele. Sussex Community NHS Trust, a large-scale entity, serves as an example of how providing valuable community services can result in successful procurement outcomes.
