Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council has completed a procurement process for the "NCC1643 SUPERVISED TOOTHBRUSHING PROGRAMME AND ORAL HEALTH PROMOTION", focusing on health and social work services. This initiative is aimed at schools in Northumberland’s most deprived areas, providing a supervised toothbrushing programme for young children. The contract was awarded under a limited competition regime as part of the Provider Selection Regime, with Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust emerging as the supplier. The contract period begins on 15th June 2026 and runs until 29th February 2028, with a possible extension of up to two years. The principal location of implementation is the UKC21 region, addressing early oral health issues in nursery and young school children.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations specialising in health and social work services within the UK. It is especially suited for suppliers who have the infrastructure to deliver health promotion services to educational and deprived settings. However, as it has been awarded to a large organisation, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) might find participation challenging unless they engage as subcontractors or within a consortium. The successful completion of this project can establish a strong partnership with regional councils and potentially unlock further public sector contracts, enhancing the supplier's market position and reputation in public health initiatives.
