Manchester City Council has announced an intention to award notice under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) for the 'Oral Health Improvement Team' project. This service aims to enhance oral hygiene through initiatives such as tooth brushing campaigns and providing free tooth brushing kits. The procurement falls under the health services industry category and is governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. It utilises a limited procurement method, specifically a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition. Businesses interested in this contract have until 30th March 2026 to make representations via email to procurement@manchester.gov.uk. The initiative will be carried out within the Manchester region, specifically UKD33.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in health services, particularly those specialising in healthcare integration and oral hygiene improvement. The existing provider, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, is anticipated to be ideally positioned due to its ongoing engagement in children's healthcare services within the city. The contract value is £606,224 GBP, offering substantial business growth potential for companies capable of delivering efficient and comprehensive oral health services. The direct award process may favour providers with established connections in the local healthcare sector, encouraging collaboration and expansion in public health initiatives.
