Small to medium enterprises with experience in the specified services, as well as larger organisations capable of handling multi-faceted health programmes, would be well-suited to participate in this competitive process. Participation not only allows businesses to contribute to meaningful public health improvements but also to establish long-term partnerships with the London Borough of Waltham Forest.
Lot 1: Best Start in Life Family Hubs: Universal and targeted services for children aged 0-5 and their parents The service core aim is to ensure all children have the best possible start in life by promoting prevention, early intervention and family support, while reducing health inequalities. This funding enables the provision of integrated, accessible services-particularly for children aged 0-5-focusing on early identification of need, supporting healthy development, strengthening parent-child relationships and ensuring children are healthy, safe and ready to learn.
Lot 2: Best Start Service 0-5 The Best Start (0-5) Service delivers a targeted early years public health offer focused on prevention, early support and improved outcomes for babies, young children and their families. It operates as part of the wider Best Start in Life system, working in partnership with health visiting, early help, Family Hub provision and community services to ensure coordinated support. The service covers Infant feeding, oral health and healthy weight provision.
Lot 3: Healthy Child Programme 0-19 The HCP is the universal public health framework for children and young people from preconception through to adulthood. It provides a structured, evidence-based approach to promoting health and wellbeing, preventing ill health and reducing inequalities, ensuring that all children are supported to achieve the best possible start in life and their full potential. The programme operates through a proportionate universal model, combining a comprehensive universal offer with targeted and specialist support for those with additional or complex needs. This approach ensures population-wide reach while enabling resources to be focused on those at greatest risk of poor outcomes. The HCP delivers a defined programme of interventions, including screening, immunisations, developmental reviews, and advice and guidance for parents, carers and young people. It supports families to play an active role in maintaining health and wellbeing, while enabling children and young people to develop the knowledge and confidence to manage their own health over time.
