5-19 Public Health Service

Norfolk County Council is undertaking a planning stage for the recommissioning of the 5-19 Public Health Service, a component of its Healthy Child Programme. This initiative, based in the UK regions of East Anglia (UKH15, UKH16, UKH17), is aimed at enhancing public health outcomes for school-aged children. The procurement process currently involves a preliminary market engagement, with stakeholder involvement on the Provider Selection Regime.

A market engagement session is scheduled for 27th January 2026, with registration closing on 26th January 2026. The successful implementation of this service is anticipated to commence on 1st October 2026, with a projected contract period running until 2031, with possible extensions to 2036. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those with expertise in community and public health services, as per CPV classifications 85100000 and 85323000.

Companies capable of delivering integrated support across community, universal, targeted, and specialist levels, in partnership with schools and families, might find this engagement particularly promising. 2 million, the opportunity facilitates long-term growth, particularly for businesses adept at aligning with public health initiatives and developing innovative service delivery models responsive to diverse community needs.
