## Summary

Manchester City Council has initiated a procurement process for the "School Health Service," which falls under the health services category. This tender is focused on delivering preventative health interventions in schools, including healthy weight, vision and hearing screening, immunisations, and support for vulnerable children. The procurement method utilised is a direct award under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was intended to be awarded to the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, with the standstill period ending on 31st March 2026, and the contract period running from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028, valued at £9,038,644 excluding VAT. The services will be delivered within the Manchester region, specifically UKD33.

This procurement process presents a significant opportunity for businesses operating in the health services sector to engage with regional authorities like Manchester City Council. Particularly, organisations with expertise in community health services and a proven track record of working with educational institutions could benefit from this contract. Given the focus on preventative health measures within schools, businesses specialising in medical screenings, immunisations, or child health interventions may find this contract aligns with their service offerings. While the current award has been directed to a large NHS Foundation Trust, similar businesses seeking to expand their footprint in the public health sector are encouraged to explore future opportunities as the council continues to invest in health and education services.
