Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health & Social Care has concluded the procurement process for the "Local Authority Public Health Peer Review and External Support" initiative. Positioned within the health services industry category, this tender is centred on administrative social services, targeting public health responsibilities at the local government level across the United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted using an open, competitive flexible procedure under the light-touch regime. Key dates include the final award on 8th April 2026, with the contract spanning from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029, incorporating a possible renewal until 2031. The process is now in the award stage, having transitioned from earlier planning and tender phases.

For businesses, particularly those in health services and social care, there is a significant opportunity to engage with the public health sector, potentially enhancing their portfolio and impact. This tender especially suits large organisations, but the procurement process was open to SMEs and VCSEs, highlighting a commitment to inclusivity and varied enterprise capabilities. Companies capable of offering strategic public health solutions, peer review facilitation, and improvement planning are well-positioned to leverage this initiative to drive growth and foster stronger public health outcomes. The collaboration required aligns well with businesses prioritising public health and community welfare.

Notice Information

Notice Title

DHSC: G&PH: Local Authority Public Health Peer Review and External Support

Notice Description

Local government have a key role in delivering the goals of the 10 Year Health Plan, Health and Growth Missions and shifting the focus from hospital to community and from sickness to prevention to build an NHS fit for the future. The Authority's regional public health teams regularly support LAs (Local Authorities) to help them deliver their public health (PH) responsibilities. From 2026-27 onwards, the existing support offer will be replaced by a new public health support and improvement package to promote a better return on investment from over PS4 billion of LA Public Health Grant (PH Grant) funding. This improvement package will maximise public health benefits from wider LA spending to deliver on their health improvement duty by ensuring that all LAs are better supported to deliver on their statutory duties, government's Missions and the public health outcome priorities.
