PROVISION OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING SERVICE FOR CHILDREN AGED 0 -19 YEARS, DERBYSHIRE INTEGRATED BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT SERVICE AND ORAL HEALTH PROMOTION SERVICE

The Derbyshire County Council has modified a contract initially awarded for the provision of health services within the region, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulation 2023. This contract, titled "Provision of the Public Health Nursing Service for Children Aged 0-19 Years, Derbyshire Integrated Breastfeeding Support Service and Oral Health Promotion Service," pertains to the health and social work services industry. The services are focused on the geographical area of Derbyshire, excluding Derby City.

The recent award update was issued on 23 July 2025, and it marks a modification that includes a one-time uplift to expand oral health services for the academic year 2025-26. The procurement stage currently reflects a contract update following an initial award context in 2022, with the contracting carrier being Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust. This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those within the healthcare services sector, that focus on public health initiatives, including breastfeeding and oral health promotion.

It is particularly suited for organisations capable of delivering comprehensive public health services to a wide demographic of children aged 0-19. Large-scale suppliers with expertise in facilitating public health programmes and those versed in expanding services rapidly may find this contract particularly lucrative, given the strategic demand to expand the Oral Health Promotion Service significantly. Businesses with robust logistics and local experience in Derbyshire region public health initiatives can greatly benefit from engaging with such service expansions.
