Summary of the contracting process

NHS England is procuring Child Health Information Services for the North East and Cumbria, and Yorkshire and Humber, with NHS North of England Commissioning Support Unit managing the process. The service will establish and manage comprehensive child health records, supporting organisations that deliver specified public health interventions and helping ensure children are offered the full range of those interventions. This is a service combining clinical information systems and health provision, including the operation, management and associated data functions needed for regional child health records. Delivery covers the North East and Cumbria, and Yorkshire and Humber. The requirement was structured as one contract rather than separate lots and is intended for a supplier able to provide an integrated regional service.

The procurement has reached the award stage under an open procedure, with Provide Community Interest Company selected as supplier; the award remains subject to the stated standstill arrangements and planned signature. The award date is 28 July 2026. The award value is £46,458,948 excluding VAT, or £55,750,737 including VAT; the estimated total procurement value is £51,719,121 excluding VAT, or £62,062,945 including VAT. The contract is due to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with an option to extend to 31 March 2034, subject to satisfactory contractual and financial performance and the authority’s discretion. Three valid bids were received. The single lot was evaluated on technical quality at 90% and social value at 10%.

This award indicates demand for suppliers able to run large, integrated child health information and public health services across multiple English regions. Credible competitors would need strong technical capability in clinical information systems, health-service delivery, child health records, data quality, integration and interoperability. They would also need the operational capacity to manage regional delivery, workforce availability, service continuity and transition, alongside resilience against system dependencies, cyber incidents, policy changes and major public health emergencies. Experience of working with NHS organisations and adapting to changes in screening, immunisation, public health priorities and NHS structures would be relevant to a future competition. Technical delivery was the dominant evaluation consideration, while a defined social-value offer also formed part of the winning proposition. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs, although the successful supplier is a larger community-interest organisation.
