Norfolk County Council (NCC) has a statutory duty to improve and protect the health and wellbeing of children and young people, with the Healthy Child Programme (HCP) contributing to the national framework that underpins these responsibilities. As a core component of the public health system, the HCP focuses on prevention and early intervention, supporting children and families from pregnancy through to adulthood. By offering help as early as possible, the programme aims to improve long-term health, wellbeing and developmental outcomes, reducing the likelihood of more complex needs arising later in childhood. To support the delivery of these services, NCC is undertaking a procurement exercise and is inviting suitably qualified and experienced applicants to submit offers. The procurement is being conducted under regulation 11 of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) in accordance with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 (the Regulations). However, it includes a small element-specifically the digital health provision-which falls outside the scope of the PSR and is therefore classified as a mixed procurement. The Contract will have an initial term of 4.5 years, with options to extend, at the Council's discretion, for a further period of up to 60 months to a maximum overall term of 9.5 years. It is anticipated that the Contract will be awarded on 1 April 2027, with service delivery commencing on 1 October 2027. The anticipated total value of the contract over its lifetime is approximately £164,350,000. The provision will be structured across two lots: Lot One: • 0-5 Health Visiting (including Experts at Hand Specialist Public Health Nursing Service)* • 0-5 Digital Health Offer • 0-19 Single Point of Access (SPOA) Lot Two: • 5-19 Public Health Service • 5-19 Digital Health Offer
