Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council’s 0–19 Integrated Healthy Child Programme brings together health visiting for children aged 0–5 and specialist public health school nursing for ages 5–19, extending to 25 for young people with special educational needs and disabilities. It also includes the National Child Measurement Programme and delivery aligned with the Best Start Family Hubs model through Children’s Centres. This is an integrated health and public health service, delivered in Birmingham. The Council is buying the service for local children, young people and families through a single lot.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, following a competitive Provider Selection Regime process. The award is pending. The award date was 24 September 2026. The awarded value is £185 million excluding VAT (£222 million including VAT). The contract is due to run from 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2032, with an option to extend to 28 February 2034, subject to satisfactory performance and funding. The original tender estimated £273 million excluding VAT (£327.6 million including VAT). Evaluation weighted quality at 70%, value at 20% and social value at 10%. One bid was received and reached the final stage.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for Birmingham City Council, this award shows demand for a joined-up child and young people’s public health service spanning health visiting, school nursing, child measurement and family hub delivery. A credible provider would need the clinical and public health expertise to cover the full age range, including specialist nursing for children and young people with SEND, and the operational capacity to coordinate services across Children’s Centres and the wider programme. The single-lot scope favours organisations able to deliver or integrate these strands as one service. The buyer placed most evaluation weight on quality, with value and social value also assessed, so evidence of effective outcomes, service integration and community benefit would be relevant alongside a sound cost case. One bid was received in this competition; the selected provider was a large NHS foundation trust.
