Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council commissioned an integrated children’s public health promotion and prevention service for people aged 0 to 19 across Derbyshire, excluding Derby City. The service combines public health nursing with breastfeeding support and oral health promotion. It is a health and social work services requirement, covering the whole county’s geographical area outside Derby City. The buyer is Derbyshire County Council, based in Matlock. The selected provider is Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust, a large NHS organisation based in Chesterfield. The requirement is delivered as one integrated service rather than separate lots, bringing together prevention, health visiting or nursing, infant feeding support and oral health activity for the local 0–19 population.

This procurement has been awarded and the active contract has subsequently been formally modified under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services. Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust was selected for the integrated service. The contract was signed on 10 October 2022 and has a stated duration of 360 days. Its recorded value is £15,706,597.11. The modification provides for a one-off payment of £101,370.00 during the 2026–2027 financial year, for an enhanced infant-feeding offer focused on Shirebrook and Clay Cross, where breastfeeding rates are lowest. The modification was permitted because the original agreement provided for it and it does not change the agreement’s overall nature. Decision-making was by the council’s senior management team.

This award demonstrates demand for an integrated, county-wide children’s public health service combining clinical public health nursing, prevention and promotion, breastfeeding support and oral health. A credible future competitor would need to coordinate these strands as one service for the full 0–19 population, rather than offer a narrowly focused standalone intervention. Relevant capability includes delivering population-level health improvement, supporting families with infant feeding, promoting oral health and targeting areas with poorer outcomes. Providers should also be able to operate across Derbyshire outside Derby City, manage a substantial public service operation and work effectively with a local authority. The selected supplier’s NHS trust status indicates that public-sector health delivery experience, organisational scale and the ability to provide integrated community services are commercially relevant strengths.
