## Summary

The Cornwall Council has awarded a contract for the "Oral Health Improvement" initiative, aimed at addressing dental caries in children, particularly in the South West region of England. This procurement falls within the health and social work services industry and was conducted through an open procedure. The contract, valued at £140,000, will be effective from 1st April 2017 until 31st March 2019. The award notice was published on 23rd June 2017, and the procurement process successfully concluded on 28th February 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on health services, particularly those working with children and families. Companies that provide oral health education, preventive care, or related community health services would be particularly suited to engage in similar future tenders. The council’s commitment to improving oral health among disadvantaged communities opens avenues for both small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as voluntary and community sector entities, to contribute positively and expand their service offerings in public health improvement initiatives.

## 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.
