This initiative is anticipated to include a Supervised Toothbrushing Programme (STP), compliant with national guidelines.

Interested parties must submit their information by 9th October 2025. The planning documents are accessible through the council’s procurement portal, with further communication expected by 31st October 2025. This tender offers a promising opportunity for businesses skilled in early childhood health promotion and services, particularly in oral health. Suitable candidates are likely to be small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in health training and community engagements. Successful bidders will contribute to a programme designed to enhance oral health among young children, potentially leading to long-term collaborations and the growth of their business by aligning with a significant public health initiative. The contract is slated to run from February 2026 to March 2029, providing stability and potential for further networking within the public sector. ## Notice Buckinghamshire Council (the Council) is requesting information about commissioning a new highly targeted Oral Health Promotion Service that could include the delivery of a Supervised Toothbrushing Programme (STP), in line with national guidance.
