This procurement seeks a service provider to manage an integrated public health programme, which encompasses health visiting and school nursing for children and young people within Nottingham. The process is governed by an open procurement method and currently in the tender stage, with submissions closing on 4th September 2026. The contract period will commence on 1st April 2027 and is initially set for five years, with potential extensions up to March 2037. The total contract value could reach £138,735,039, reflecting possible modifications and extensions. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses with expertise in health services to partner with a forward-thinking local authority. Companies with experience in community health services, particularly those that have demonstrated innovative and evidence-informed service delivery, are well-suited for this bid. The contract encourages collaboration with Nottingham City Council in delivering high-quality health services and offers potential growth through additional funding opportunities. As the service aims to cater to a substantial demographic (approximately 87,001 individuals aged 0-19 within the Nottingham area), providers will need sufficient capacity and a proactive approach to align with the Health Council's strategic goals and community needs. ## Notice Nottingham City Council is a forward-thinking and ambitious local Authority. We are seeking to commission an experienced provider to deliver an integrated 0 to 19 public health service (the Healthy Child Programme), comprising health visiting for 0 to 5 and school nursing for 5 to 19 (to 25 for those with SEND and care leavers). The service is universal with targeted and specialist provision and covers children and young people resident within the Nottingham City Council boundary (approximately 87,001 aged 0 to 19). The Contract will start on 1 April 2027 for an initial 5 year period until 31 March 2032. There are two possible extensions at the Authority's discretion for up to a further 5 years on a 3 year + 2 year basis. The total contract value is up to PS135,271,039 for the whole contract term (including extensions). The initial annual contract value (1 April 2027 until 31 March 2028) is PS12,585,144 . Tenderers must use this as a maximum available value when submitting their bids. Any bids exceeding this price will be rejected. This tender seeks to deliver the best possible service to citizens while ensuring that overhead costs remain proportionate and represent value for money. Bidders must provide a clear breakdown of their pricing. Any bid where overhead costs exceed 30% of the total tender price will be deemed non-compliant and will be excluded from further evaluation. The Authority reserves the right to modify the contract during its term to support potential growth from external funding opportunities to deliver outcomes against activity that support babies, children and young people such as social care reforms and the NHS 10 year plan. Any such modification may increase the contract value by up to PS3,464,000, resulting in a maximum total contract value of PS138,735,039 ### Lot Information Lot 1 We are seeking to commission an experienced provider to deliver an integrated 0 to 19 public health service (the Healthy Child Programme), comprising health visiting for 0 to 5 and school nursing for 5 to 19 (to 25 for those with SEND and care leavers). The service is universal with targeted and specialist provision and covers children and young people resident within the Nottingham City Council boundary (approximately 87,001 aged 0 to 19). Through a collaborative commissioning relationship, the Provider will work in partnership with the Commissioner to deliver the mandated offer to a high standard, informed by the experiences of service users. Where elements of delivery are not mandated, the Provider will be empowered to develop innovative and evidence-informed approaches to achieve the best possible outcomes for families in Nottingham. The initial Contract Term will be for an initial 5-year period from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032 with option to extend for a further 5 years on 3 + 2 basis, at the Council's discretion. The maximum total contract value, including the initial term and all extension periods, for the period 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2037 is up to PS135,271,039. This comprises up to PS134,705,039 from the ring-fenced Public Health Grant (core funding) and up to PS566,000 from the Best Start in Life Grant. The contract price will be fixed for the first year and will increase by 2% each year thereafter. The maximum total contract value of up to PS135,271,039 has been calculated on the basis of a 2% annual inflationary uplift applied to the core funding (Ringfenced Public Health Grant) element throughout the contract term after year 1 and not to the Best Start in Life Grant. The stated value therefore reflects both the initial contract value and the cumulative impact of the annual 2% uplifts over the full contract period. The annual contract value for Year 1 (1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028) is PS12,585,144. Tenderers must use this as a maximum available value when submitting their bids. Any bids exceeding this amount will be excluded from further consideration.

Any such modification may increase the contract value by up to PS3,464,000, resulting in a maximum total contract value of PS138,735,039 Local Government Reorganisation Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) is underway in several areas across the Country and may result in changes to council demographics, structures, service delivery and responsibilities, and geographical coverage during the life of the contract.
