## Summary

The procurement process for the "Oral Health Improvement" project was initiated by Cornwall Council, located in Truro, England. This initiative falls under the health and social work services category and has a total contract value of £140,000. It was awarded on 1st February 2017, with the execution period spanning from 1st April 2017 to 31st March 2019. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the tender process is now complete, with all relevant activities documented, including the award notice published on 15th August 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those focused on dental health and preventative treatments for children. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-placed to compete for similar future contracts, as the emphasis on community-oriented health initiatives increasingly drives demand for local and innovative service providers in the South West of England.

## Notice

Dental caries (tooth decay) is a significant public health problem in England. Sizeable inequalities in the incidence of caries exist between affluent and deprived communities, and it is a common cause of hospital admissions in children. An oral health improvement objective exists within the Public Health Outcomes Framework to reduce decay in children aged five. In order to impact on this indicator, oral health improvement needs to be directed to children and families in the pre-school environment to establish good oral habits and encourage healthy eating.
