Summary of the contracting process

Knowsley Council commissioned the 0–19(25) Healthy Child Programme, a comprehensive, evidence-based public health service for children, young people and families in Knowsley. The service covers health visiting; family support through the Enhancing Families offer; antenatal and health and development reviews from pregnancy to 3–3.5 years; breastfeeding and infant feeding support; the National Childhood Measurement Programme; immunisations and screening; and targeted support for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. This is a health services requirement, delivered in Knowsley. The commissioning activity was assessed under the Public Services (Social Value) Regulations using the Most Suitable Provider route. Knowsley Council is the buyer and contracting authority for the programme.

The procurement has completed and an active award was made to Wirral Community Health & Care NHS Foundation Trust and Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. The contract value is £22,359,680. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and has a duration of 1,800 days, with a possible 24-month extension. The process used a selective restricted procedure, with written submissions in English and a document participation fee. Two bids were recorded. Evaluation was based entirely on quality, with cost carrying no weighting. The tender period ended on 5 June 2026. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, although the related award and contract are active. Variants were not allowed.

This requirement is relevant to large health and care providers able to deliver an integrated early-years and childhood public health programme across a local authority area. Credible competitors would need clinical and public health capability covering health visiting, developmental reviews, infant feeding, childhood measurement, immunisation, screening, family support, and targeted services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. The scope favours organisations that can coordinate provision across the full 0–19 age range, work with families and partner services, and demonstrate an evidence-based approach. Providers should also be able to respond to the Public Services (Social Value) Regulations and present strong quality evidence, since quality was the sole evaluation basis.
