UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea commissioned an early-years supervised toothbrushing and oral health promotion service. It supports eligible early-years settings to establish and maintain supervised brushing for children aged 3–5. The provider trains setting staff, helps them implement the programme, supplies suitable resources, and monitors participation, programme quality and delivery. This combines health training with dental and oral health services. The work is for early-years settings within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust. The council used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The award is for one lot; no award criteria are reported. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 August 2027, with a single discretionary extension of up to 12 months. The contract value is £60,000 excluding VAT (£72,000 including VAT). The service description gives a 1 September 2026 start date, while the signed contract period begins on 1 October 2026.

For suppliers preparing for similar work for the Royal Borough, this award demonstrates demand for a locally delivered oral-health programme focused on children aged 3–5 in early-years settings. A credible provider would need the capability to train setting staff, help them embed and sustain supervised toothbrushing, supply appropriate materials, and monitor take-up, programme quality and delivery. The requirement combines practical staff training with dental or oral-health expertise and the ability to work across participating early-years settings. Providers should be able to support consistent delivery and report on participation and quality. The award went to an NHS community healthcare trust, showing that a provider with public-health and community service delivery experience was selected; the procurement was made directly without competition.
