Supervised Toothbrushing Scheme

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees has successfully completed a procurement process for a Supervised Toothbrushing Scheme. This opportunity was centred in Huddersfield, within the United Kingdom, specifically the UKE44 region. It falls under the public authority's sub-central government category and focuses on dental practice and miscellaneous health services.

The procurement process followed a competitive flexible procedure under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, which ultimately awarded the contract to HOME-START KIRKLEES. The procurement process offered an open method, and the contract, valued at £528,388 gross, is set to span from 1st January 2026 to 31st December 2029, including optional extensions. Key dates included the tender opening on 27th August 2025 and award publication on 11th December 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in health-related services, particularly those specialising in dental practices or related fields. It provides a platform for businesses to engage deeply with community health initiatives focusing on early years settings. Companies with a strong background in delivering consistent, high-quality health services and with an interest in enhancing public health through early childhood interventions will find this contract particularly attractive.

With a significant emphasis on quality and innovation, SMEs and VCSEs that demonstrate social value, integration, and collaborative potential stand a good chance of substantial business growth by engaging in this initiative.
