Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council commissioned an integrated public health service for children and young people across Nottingham City. It combines health visiting for children aged 0–5 with school nursing for ages 5–19, extending to age 25 for care leavers and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. The service is intended for the whole local population of children and young people, with universal support alongside targeted and specialist provision. The scope is community health services, including prevention and support shaped around local health needs. Delivery covers Nottingham City Council’s boundary and serves a population estimated at about 87,001 children and young people aged 0–19.

The contract has been awarded to Nottingham CityCare Partnership CiC, an existing provider. Nottingham City Council used the Provider Selection Regime’s competitive process, with an open two-stage procedure: written submission and pricing schedule, followed by interview for providers meeting the progression threshold. The award date was 26 October 2026, and the contract was signed on 13 October 2026. The initial term runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with discretionary extensions of three years and then two years, potentially taking the term to 31 March 2037. The signed contract value is £125,083,750. Evaluation weighted quality and innovation, integration and collaboration, access and health inequalities, social value and value, with the written stage weighted at 80% and interview at 20%.

This award shows demand for a large, integrated children’s community health service combining health visiting and school nursing, with universal, targeted and specialist provision. A credible provider for a future equivalent requirement would need the capacity to serve children and young people across a whole city, including care leavers and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. The selected provider was assessed on safe, high-quality, evidence-based delivery, measurable and sustainable improvements in outcomes, and the ability to address health inequalities. Strong mobilisation planning, continuity through transition, and established partnership working with commissioners, statutory agencies, local communities and voluntary and community organisations were central to the requirement. Relevant regulatory and professional registration, insurance, experience, and suitable policies and procedures were also required. Value for money and local understanding of population needs and community assets mattered alongside service quality.
