Description
Responsibility for commissioning the statutory 0-5 Specialist Community Public Health Nursing services transferred from NHS England to the Council on 1st October 2015. These services are comprised of the Health Visiting service and the Family Nurse Partnership service, which both deliver the Healthy Child Programme to families with children, starting in pregnancy until the child is 5 years old. The Healthy Child Programme provides regular health and development checks for children throughout their first few years of life and aims to impact positively on health and development for all children under 5 in Tower Hamlets.

We expect the retendered services to consist of a single tender, potentially divided into 2 lots. This may be subject to change given factors such as market conditions, feedback from market engagement or legislation.
