Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council procured an integrated 0–19 Healthy Child Programme, a public health prevention and early-intervention service for children, young people and families in Newcastle upon Tyne. The service covers health visiting for children aged 0–5, school nursing for children aged 5–18 and young people with special educational needs and disabilities up to age 25, infant-feeding support, breastfeeding peer support and child vision screening. Its purpose is to support parents, promote child development, improve health outcomes and identify children, young people and families at risk as early as possible. This is a health services requirement delivered as one integrated service, with a universal offer alongside targeted early support.

The procurement has reached the award and contract stage under the Provider Selection Regime’s competitive process. Newcastle City Council selected The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and the contract is recorded as active. The award was dated 29 July 2026 and the contract was signed on 13 August 2026. The contract value is £32,110,708 for 60 months. The stated contract term is 36 months from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with two possible 12-month extensions subject to funding and performance. The process used an open procedure with electronic submissions. Evaluation covered quality and innovation (25%), value (15%), integration, collaboration and service sustainability (25%), improving access and reducing health inequalities (25%), and social value (10%). Two bids were recorded.

This requirement demonstrates demand for a large, integrated child and family public health service combining community health visiting, school nursing, infant-feeding support, peer support and vision screening. A credible future provider would need the workforce, clinical governance and operational capacity to deliver these services across the full 0–19 age range, including support for young people with special educational needs and disabilities up to age 25. The selection requirements specifically refer to adherence to national Healthy Child Programme commissioning guidance for public health nursing services, covering both workforce suitability and technical capability. Strong competitors would also need evidence of quality and innovation, partnership working and service integration, improved access, reduced health inequalities, family choice and measurable social value.
