0-19 Public Health Integrated Service (Healthy Child Programme)

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 £135,271,039 for the whole contract term (including extensions). The initial annual contract value (1 April 2027 until 31 March 2028) is £12,585,144 . 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 £3,464,000, resulting in a maximum total contract value of £138,735,039
