Positioned within the health services industry category, this tender is centred on administrative social services, targeting public health responsibilities at the local government level across the United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted using an open, competitive flexible procedure under the light-touch regime. Key dates include the final award on 8th April 2026, with the contract spanning from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029, incorporating a possible renewal until 2031. The process is now in the award stage, having transitioned from earlier planning and tender phases. For businesses, particularly those in health services and social care, there is a significant opportunity to engage with the public health sector, potentially enhancing their portfolio and impact. This tender especially suits large organisations, but the procurement process was open to SMEs and VCSEs, highlighting a commitment to inclusivity and varied enterprise capabilities. Companies capable of offering strategic public health solutions, peer review facilitation, and improvement planning are well-positioned to leverage this initiative to drive growth and foster stronger public health outcomes. The collaboration required aligns well with businesses prioritising public health and community welfare. ## Notice Local government have a key role in delivering the goals of the 10 Year Health Plan, Health and Growth Missions and shifting the focus from hospital to community and from sickness to prevention to build an NHS fit for the future. The Authority's regional public health teams regularly support LAs (Local Authorities) to help them deliver their public health (PH) responsibilities. From 2026-27 onwards, the existing support offer will be replaced by a new public health support and improvement package to promote a better return on investment from over PS4 billion of LA Public Health Grant (PH Grant) funding. This improvement package will maximise public health benefits from wider LA spending to deliver on their health improvement duty by ensuring that all LAs are better supported to deliver on their statutory duties, government's Missions and the public health outcome priorities. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: possibility to extend the contract for two years, at the sole discretion of Authority and subjected to funding approval. ### Planning Information If there is sufficient interest, we will be hosting a webinar for potential suppliers on Tuesday, 30th September, from 15:30 to 16:30. This will be an opportunity to ask questions and provide verbal feedback. To register and help us confirm the event, please email Yoshi.panwar@dhsc.gov.uk by 15:00, Wednesday 24th September 2025. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032060-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Apr 2026 | | Submission deadline | 16 Jan 2026 | | Future notice date | 19 Nov 2025 | | Award date | 20 Feb 2026 | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2026 - 31 Mar 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £7,860,000 | | Lots value | £7,860,000 | | Awards value | £7,860,000 | | Contracts value | £7,860,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active, Pending | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 0EU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | IMPROVEMENT & DEVELOPMENT AGENCY FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services - 85321000 - Administrative social services - 85323000 - Community health services ## Release History - 8 Apr 2026 at 14:37 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032060-2026 - 2 Mar 2026 at 15:32 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018583-2026 - 5 Dec 2025 at 15:44 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080277-2025 - 5 Dec 2025 at 13:08 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080147-2025 - 4 Sep 2025 at 12:27 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053918-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032060-2026 8th April 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018583-2026 2nd March 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080277-2025 5th December 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080147-2025 5th December 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053918-2025 4th September 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-14463 ## Notice URLs - https://atamis-1928.my.site.com/s/Welcome - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-of-health-and-social-care - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
