Summary of the contracting process

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council is commissioning one Sandwell 0–19 Healthy Child Service, classified as community health services and health services. The service will support babies, children and young people aged 0 to 19, extending to age 25 for care leavers and people with special educational needs or disabilities. Its purpose is to provide an evidence-informed, outcome-focused programme that gives children a healthy start, identifies and addresses health needs early, prevents health problems, supports school readiness and learning, protects children and families, and improves equity of access and outcomes. Delivery will use proportionate universalism: a universal offer for all, with targeted and specialist interventions based on assessed need. The work will be delivered across Sandwell.

The process has reached tender: the Council invited offers through a competitive process under the Provider Selection Regime, using an electronic open procedure. Tenders were due by 13:00 on 4 September 2026, with opening scheduled for 13:01 the same day. The contract runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with reviewed extensions of up to two further years, ending no later than 31 March 2032. Its estimated value is £55,899,161.92. There is one contract rather than separate lots. Bids must be in English and variants are not allowed. The evaluation methodology is set out in the invitation to tender. Basic selection covers exclusion grounds, financial capacity, insurance, UK GDPR, CQC registration and rating, premises, technical capacity, health and safety, and modern slavery.

This opportunity suits an established community or public health provider able to deliver a large, integrated service for children, young people and families across universal, targeted and specialist levels of need. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate financial and technical capacity, appropriate insurance, suitable premises and robust health and safety arrangements. Care Quality Commission registration and rating are required, so bidders need relevant regulated-care credentials and a standing that can meet CQC requirements. The service also demands evidence-informed, outcome-focused practice, early identification and prevention capability, safeguarding and family-support expertise, and the ability to improve access and health outcomes equitably. The Council permits a single provider, subcontracting arrangement or consortium, allowing organisations to combine complementary clinical, community and operational capabilities.
