Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council procured a toothPASTE training package for Leeds. The service is intended to enable health visiting teams and Family Hub staff to deliver toothPASTE as part of their existing practice, including home visits and family support activities. The work involves co-designing practical, relevant training that can be integrated into those services. Delivery includes 10 workshops involving families, 0–19 staff and Family Hub staff. This is a public health and dental-related training service, covering the development of an approach that frontline teams can use with families. The requirement is based in Leeds and is aimed at supporting local early-years, family support and health visiting provision.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to the University of Leeds without competition as a below-threshold contract. The University of Leeds was selected on 1 April 2026. The active contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028. Its gross value is £44,619.78. The contract covers one lot and the service category is dental practice and related services. The award and contract concern the toothPASTE training package, with the University of Leeds responsible for delivering the awarded requirement. The contracting authority is Leeds City Council, and the published outcome records the tender as complete and the contract as active.

This procurement indicates demand from Leeds City Council for specialist support that combines dental or oral-health knowledge with practical workforce training and service design. A credible future supplier would need to co-design materials with health visiting teams, Family Hub staff, families and 0–19 services, rather than offer a standard course alone. Relevant capability includes running structured workshops, engaging families and frontline professionals, translating oral-health practice into usable training, and fitting delivery into home visits and family support activity. Experience of public health, early-years services, community dentistry or local-authority programmes would help demonstrate understanding of the operating environment. Suppliers would also need the capacity to manage a multi-workshop co-design programme and produce practical, transferable training.
