Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council procured a 0–19 Public Health Nursing Service under the Healthy Child Programme. The service is designed to support children, young people and families through universal and targeted, preventative health services. Its scope includes the full modernised programme, with evidence-based interventions such as screening tests, developmental reviews, parenting information and guidance on healthy choices. The service must be safe, accessible and delivered to a high standard, supporting families to achieve better health and wellbeing and helping to reduce health inequalities. This is a public health nursing and child health service, classified under services provided by nurses. Delivery is for the Leeds area, with the council as the buying organisation.

The procurement has reached award and contract stage. Leeds City Council used an open competitive procedure under the Provider Selection Regime for health care services. Three bids were recorded. The award decision was dated 15 April 2026, and the contract was signed on 28 July 2026 with Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust. The awarded contract value is £139,184,630 including the single service requirement. The contract runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with an option to extend for a further 60 months. Bids were evaluated on quality and cost, with the published criteria each described as 100%. The procurement is recurring, and variants were not allowed.

This award demonstrates substantial, sustained demand from Leeds for an integrated 0–19 public health nursing service. A credible future competitor would need to deliver both universal and targeted provision across the full Healthy Child Programme, rather than a narrow clinical intervention. Relevant capability includes public health nursing, child and family health assessment, screening, developmental reviews, preventative interventions, parenting support and health-promotion advice. Providers would also need the operational capacity to serve children, young people and families across the Leeds area safely and accessibly, while maintaining consistently high service standards. Experience of evidence-based delivery, reducing health inequalities and working with families at different levels of need would strengthen a competing offer. The route used was an open competitive process under the Provider Selection Regime.
