## Summary

Isle of Wight Council is procuring the 0–19 Public Health Nursing Service across the Isle of Wight. This community health service supports pregnant women, children, young people and their families through an integrated public health offer. It includes the Healthy Child Programme and its five mandated health and development reviews for children under five, covering stages from antenatal contact through early childhood. The service also delivers England’s National Child Measurement Programme, measuring children’s height and weight in schools to support population monitoring and early identification of need. The named buyer is Isle of Wight Council, and the selected provider is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. The relevant service category is community health services (CPV 85323000).

The procurement has reached its award stage: Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust was selected through Direct Award Process C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and has a value of £14 million. It runs for five years from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with an option for the Council to extend it by up to a further two years. The award followed an assessment of the existing provider’s performance and expected ability to meet the requirement. Evaluation weightings were 25% quality and innovation, 25% integration, collaboration and sustainability, 25% improved access and reduced health inequalities, 15% value for money, and 10% social value.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Isle of Wight Council for a large, integrated public health nursing provider serving the full 0–19 age range. A credible future competitor would need to deliver community nursing and public health services for pregnant women, children, young people and families, while coordinating the Healthy Child Programme and its mandated early-years reviews. Experience of school-based population health activity is also important, including reliable delivery of the National Child Measurement Programme and the ability to identify emerging need. The assessment shows that the Council values quality and innovation, partnership working, service sustainability, access, health inequalities, choice, social value and cost effectiveness. Organisations with NHS or equivalent public health delivery capability, established local integration and sufficient operational capacity would be best placed to compete when this requirement returns.
