The engagement end date is set for 3 October 2019, with all completed questionnaires due by 14:00 on that date. This process is aimed at gaining insights into provider experiences related to health and social work services, specifically those concerning public health nursing and community services, falling under the East Midlands region in the United Kingdom. This opportunity presents a chance for businesses operating in health and social work sectors, particularly those specialising in community health, public health nursing, and related social services, to contribute their insights and influence the upcoming commissioning process. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as their experiences and knowledge will play a critical role in shaping the future service specifications for the 0-19 Healthy Child Programme. ## Notice THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION SOFT MARKET TESTING Leicester City Council are currently considering options for the future design and procurement of the 0-19 Healthy Child Programme (0-19 HCP), with a view to commencing the proposed new service from 1 April 2022. It is anticipated, that tenders for the next commissioning arrangement would be sought in June 2020. As part of this process the commissioners of this service are keen to capture provider experience, skills, knowledge and concerns at an early point to ensure these can be fully considered throughout the process of designing and commissioning the service. At a high level, 0-19 Healthy Child Programme will typically include elements of: * Public Health Nursing (Health Visiting) * Breastfeeding support * Public Health Nursing (School Nursing) * National Child Measurement Programme and support to achieve and maintain a healthy weight The vision for the future of 0-19 HCP is still being developed and this soft market testing exercise will feed into the service specification following an internal review. The commissioners are undertaking a soft market test. Providers (and prospective providers) of 0-19 HCP services are asked and encouraged to share their thoughts and experiences in relation to the questions contained within the Soft Market Test questionnaire.
