This initiative focuses on improving children's oral health through a nationally recognised supervised toothbrushing scheme in early years settings. Located in London and spanning the wider region of England, this procurement falls under the industry category of articles and preparations for oral or dental hygiene. The key date for this process is the engagement end date on 23rd September 2024. Businesses are invited to express interest by submitting a questionnaire before 10 am BST on this date. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the dental and healthcare industries to contribute to public health initiatives and gain visibility in the market. The DHSC is seeking partnerships that can provide both physical support and strategic assistance, which could involve the donation of goods or services, investment in supervised toothbrushing programmes, or engagement in sponsorship opportunities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are highly encouraged to participate, as the department values innovative and flexible approaches to enhancing children's oral health. ## Notice DHSC is committed to implementing a nationally recognised supervised toothbrushing scheme, in early years settings, and other reforms to improve the oral health of children in England. The purpose of this market engagement is to gauge interest from industry stakeholders with regards to the extent and type of support which they would be able to provide in line with the department's ambitions. The department's interest at this stage is in any potential partners that could provide physical support and assistance to help shape, inform and deliver our strategic ambition to improve the oral health in children and young people and reduce inequalities. This support and assistance could include but not be limited to the donation of goods or services alongside investment in supervised toothbrushing, development of initiatives or sponsor opportunities that help children and their families look after their oral health. There is no planned procurement activity relating to the publication of this Prior Information Notice (PIN). For avoidance of doubt this is not a call for competition nor a procurement and therefore it will have a monetary payment value of PS0 attached for this engagement. The sole purpose is to seek interest from potential collaborative partners.
