## Summary

The Reading Borough Council has completed the procurement process for the award of Public Health Nursing Services, specifically targeting ages 0-19 (25s). This initiative aims to integrate Health Visiting and School Nursing services by collaborating with Children's Centres and early intervention services. The contract is set to commence on 1st October 2017 and will run until 30th September 2019. The total contract value is approximately £9.7 million, with the tender period concluding on 27th February 2017. The services fall within the health services industry category, with a specific focus on welfare and community health services, to be delivered at locations within the Berkshire area.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in health and social care services, especially those focusing on children's welfare and community support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, as it encourages engagement with local service providers capable of delivering integrated public health services. Successful bidders will not only contribute to improving outcomes for local families but also potentially expand their market presence within the public health sector.

## Notice

Current arrangements mean that the contracts for both Health Visiting (0-5) and School Nursing (5-19) are due to end on the 31st September 2017. In order to maximise outcomes for local children Reading Borough Council is moving to full integration with Children's Centres and a range of early intervention services and to develop a jointly managed service - achieving integration through collaboration and creating a single service offer for families. This arrangement will: i. Strengthen strategic and operational alignment with RBC's Children's Services, securing stronger integration with the Council's Children's Centres and Early Help Services and maximise skill mix based on the available evidence around early intervention and family focussed care. ii. Improve opportunities to maximise efficiency and reduce costs at points of delivery e.g. reduction of duplication of roles in teams, rationalisation of management costs and building use. iii. Improve the chance of reaching early intervention and prevention outcomes due to better information sharing, aligned assessment and referral processes that will identify families for targeted support earlier.
