Market Engagement for Healthy Child Programme
Authority: London Borough of Redbridge (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe London Borough of Redbridge is preparing to recommission its Healthy Child Programme. The Healthy Child Programme (HCP) provides an integrated Health Visiting, Family Nurse Partnership and School Nursing Service and deliver a full Healthy Child Programme 0-19 years with a focus on working across services and organisational boundaries for babies, children, young people aged 0-19 and their families to improve public health outcomes. The HCP is a prevention and early intervention programme based on a model of “progressive universalism”. All families are offered a number of universal services. Additional services are available to those who need them or are identified as being at risk. The service will cover:
- Universal and targeted health visiting from pregnancy to age five, including mandated reviews and additional support according to need.
- School nursing for children and young people aged 5–19, with appropriate extension to age 25 for care leavers and young people with SEND where required by the final specification.
- National Child Measurement Programme delivery.
- A locally designed intensive targeted pregnancy and early-years offer to replace the separately licensed FNP model.
- Integration with Best Start Family Hubs, Family Help/Families First, maternity, primary care, mental health, SEND and neighbourhood arrangements
- Proactive outreach and tailored support for families facing barriers to access, including insecure or temporary accommodation, migration-related vulnerability, language barriers, mental health needs and complex social circumstances.
- Co-production, ongoing family voice, improved service visibility and responsive delivery in community and neighbourhood settings.
- Clear pathways, step-up and step-down arrangements, information sharing, outcome measurement and contract-management requirements[GE1.1] As part of our commitment to transparent and inclusive commissioning, we are conducting a Market Engagement Exercise to better understand the capacity, interest, and innovation within the provider market. We invite you to complete the attached Market Engagement Questionnaire, which will help inform the design and delivery model of future services. Your feedback will be used to:
- Shape the service specification
- Identify opportunities for integration and innovation
- Ensure the commissioned services meet local needs and reduce health inequalities This is not a formal tender process, but an opportunity to contribute to the development of a high-quality, equitable, and sustainable public health service. The deadline for completed responses to be submitted via the London Tenders Portal is Friday 16th October 2026. We thank you for your interest and look forward to your valuable insights.

How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered. The market figure counts awards delivered in Greater London.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered outside the region where that award was delivered.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards have an award date within 65 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
The market share is a minimum: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.
How many bids did past lots attract?
i
How many bids past lots received.
Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.
Past bids do not predict this tender.

How did awards compare with estimates?

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
