Description

Leicester City Council invites Tenders for the provision of the supply and delivery, to various locations within the City of Leicester, of Healthy Teeth, Happy Smiles! (HTHS!) oral health packs for its Public Health Team.

Although oral health has improved significantly in England over the last 30 years, many challenges remain, particularly for those living in Leicester. Leicester is unique as a City in its high proportion of people from different ethnic backgrounds, as well as children and young people, and those living in areas of deprivation.

There are four different types of pack as follows (with more detail in the tender documentation):

Pack A - Health visitors for Children aged 6 - 8 weeks

Pack B - Health visitors for Children aged 9 - 12 months

Pack C - Health visitors for Children aged 2 - 2½ years

Pack D - Reception for Children aged 4 years

The proposed Contract will be for 35 months to 1 October 2027 with no option to extend.

Further information about the opportunity can be found in the tender documentation. Submissions including requested samples must be received by 12:00 noon on 7 October 2024 at the very latest via the EastMidsTenders portal: https://www.eastmidstenders.org/index.html.

Late submissions and those received by any other means will not be accepted.
