UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Westminster City Council commissioned an early-years oral health promotion service for eligible settings in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The service supports supervised toothbrushing for children aged 3–5: training staff, helping settings put the programme in place and maintain it, supplying suitable resources, and monitoring participation, quality and delivery. The work combines health training with dental and oral health services. The named buyer is Westminster City Council, while the service area identified in the requirement is Kensington and Chelsea.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Westminster City Council awarded the single lot directly, below threshold and without competition, to Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust. The award value is not recorded; the contract is valued at £72,000 excluding VAT (£86,400 including VAT). The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 30 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with an option for the council to extend once for up to 12 months. The service description defines the requirement and eligible settings; no separate evaluation basis is set out.

For this requirement, a credible provider needs the ability to deliver oral health promotion in early-years settings, train staff, supply appropriate toothbrushing resources and support consistent implementation. It must also be able to monitor participation, service quality and delivery across eligible settings, and work with children aged 3–5. The appointment of a large NHS trust shows that the buyer selected an established healthcare provider for this service, delivered through a direct award rather than an open competition. Suppliers considering this buyer’s future requirement would need relevant dental or public health expertise and the operational capacity to support multiple settings and sustain programme delivery. The service is focused on supervised toothbrushing and oral health in Kensington and Chelsea’s early-years sector.
