UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth City Council procured a supervised toothbrushing programme for school settings, under a requirement covering education and training services and health services. The work is intended to deliver supervised toothbrushing activity in participating schools, combining an education-based intervention with a public health service. The buying organisation is Portsmouth City Council. Delivery is in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The awarded supplier is the University of Portsmouth, which is also based in Portsmouth. This opportunity is therefore relevant to organisations that can design, coordinate or deliver supervised oral-health education and practical toothbrushing support in schools, particularly those able to work with a local authority and an education-sector partner.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was conducted as a below-threshold procedure; the recorded method detail is “below threshold - unknown”. The requirement was divided into one lot, covering school settings. The University of Portsmouth received the award for that lot, with an active award. The contract was signed on 2 April 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its gross value is £52,000, in GBP. The published outcome identifies services as the procurement category, with education and training and health services classifications. The award and contract relate specifically to the supervised toothbrushing programme rather than a general school health or education framework.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined local-authority demand for school-based oral-health delivery combining teaching, supervised activity and health-service provision. A credible competitor for similar work would need the ability to operate safely and consistently in school environments, engage children and school staff, and translate oral-health requirements into a practical supervised toothbrushing programme. Experience in education and training services, public health delivery or both would be directly relevant. Suppliers would also benefit from demonstrating reliable programme coordination across participating schools, effective partnership working with a council and higher-education organisation, and the capacity to deliver a focused service over a multi-year operating period. The requirement may suit established providers as well as specialist organisations with strong school-health delivery experience.
