two.1.4) Short description
THIS IS AN INTENTION TO AWARD NOTICE ONLY
Westmorland & Furness Council is advising of its intention to award a contract to a provider under the Competitive Process of the Provider Selection Regime.
The 0-19 Healthy Child Programme (HCP) is the early intervention and prevention public
health programme that lies at the heart of universal service for children, young people, and
families at a crucial stage of life, including pre-conception. The 0-19 HCP’s universal reach
provides an invaluable opportunity to identify families that need additional support and
children who are at risk of poor outcomes.
The 0-19 HCP sets out the good practice framework for prevention and early intervention
services for children, young people and their families and recommends how health,
education and other partners working together across a range of settings can significantly
enhance a child’s or young person’s life chances.
The Service will provide clinical leadership, co-ordination, and delivery of the 0-19 HCP
across the Westmorland and Furness Council footprint.
The Service sets out the good practice framework for prevention and early intervention
services for children, young people and their families and recommends how health,
education and other partners working together across a range of settings can significantly
enhance a child’s or young person’s life chances.
The current guidance for local government, the NHS, integrated care boards and other
partners inform local implementation of the healthy child programme framework. These include evidence led approaches to:
• preconception care
• promoting child development
• improving child health outcomes
• ensuring that families at risk are identified at the earliest opportunity
Safeguarding responsibilities apply through all elements from identification of risk and need
to early help and targeted work, and formal child protection.
The COVID-19 pandemic raises specific considerations for childhood vulnerability and the
impact on their education, time with family and to their emotional health and wellbeing. The
Provider will act in accordance with the No child left behind - a public health informed
approach to improving outcomes for vulnerable children.
The service will utilise the DHSC Campaign Resource Centre in working with babies,
children, young people and families. Campaign Resource Centre (dhsc.gov.uk)
Decision to Award is undertaken by Director of Thriving Communities in agreement with Council Cabinet.
Reasons for selecting the chosen provider
Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust achieved the highest score against the key award criteria as set out in the tender documentation.
The Trust provided evidence of good quality HCP services and evidence to demonstrate that they would be able to meet the transformational ambitions of the Healthy Child Programme Specification in Westmorland & Furness.
No identified conflicts of interest.
