## Summary

Portsmouth City Council procured a supervised toothbrushing programme for early year settings. The requirement covers health services delivered through supervised toothbrushing activities for children attending early years settings. This procurement concerns Lot 2 of the programme, with delivery in Portsmouth. The council is the buying organisation. The selected provider is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, a large NHS healthcare organisation based in Southampton. The work is therefore suited to providers with an established healthcare or public health role, and with the operational ability to deliver supervised oral-health activity in early years settings across Portsmouth. Its focus is service delivery rather than the supply of dental products or general facilities management.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Portsmouth City Council used a below-threshold procedure, with the published method described as unknown. Lot 2 was completed and awarded to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust on 2 April 2026. The contract is valued at £46,000 gross. It runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, giving a three-year contract period. The award covers health services for the supervised toothbrushing programme in early year settings in Portsmouth. The award is active and the contract is active. The available procurement information identifies the service requirement and successful provider, but does not set out an evaluation weighting or separate award criteria.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for supervised toothbrushing in early year settings from Portsmouth City Council, delivered at a modest public-service scale over a multi-year period. Competitors would need practical experience of supervised oral-health or preventive healthcare programmes, together with the staff, safeguarding arrangements and delivery systems needed to work reliably with young children and early years providers. A credible supplier would also need to understand NHS or local-authority public health environments, manage activity across settings in Portsmouth, and provide consistent monitoring and coordination. The successful provider’s NHS foundation trust status indicates that established healthcare governance, public-sector delivery experience and organisational capacity are relevant strengths for this buyer’s requirement.
