Tender description

The service will lead and co-ordinate local delivery of the Healthy Child Programme 0-5 requirements using the 4-5-6 model for Health Visiting, with a focus on the High Impact Areas to support delivery: All children and their families will receive the Healthy Child Programme (0-5), including universal access and early identification of additional and/or complex needs. Families will be supported to give their children the best start in life based on current evidence of 1001 Critical Days recognising the Importance of the Conception to Age Two period as a foundation on which to build support in the early years and beyond. Families will be given expert advice and support to enable them to provide a secure environment to lay down the foundations for emotional resilience and good physical and mental health. Children will be ready to learn at 2; ready for school by 5; and achieve the best possible educational outcomes. We are seeking to contract with one successful tenderer via an open procedure process, conducted under the Light Touch Regime. This is not being split into lots to ensure better economies of scales and value for money and to increase the attractiveness of the opportunity to the market.
