## Summary

The Cornwall Council is seeking to improve oral health with a procurement titled "Oral Health Improvement," aimed at addressing dental caries among children in the South West region of England. The contract, valued at £140,000, encompasses health and social work services and was awarded on 31 March 2017, with the contract period running from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2019. The initial tender period ended on 19 January 2017, with the procurement process conducted through an open procedure.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specialising in health and social services, particularly those experienced in community health initiatives and children’s health programmes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations would be well-suited to seize this opportunity, given the emphasis on improving health outcomes for disadvantaged groups, particularly families with young children.

## 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.
