A significant proportion of the population in England experience very good levels of tooth decay. Successive oral surveys have shown that child and adult oral health has been improving over the past 30 years. The proportion of children who participated in the first 3-year old oral health survey in 2013 varied at regional and upper and lower-tier local authority level and this probably reflects the provision of child care in different areas which impacts upon the ability to access children. Across the regions, representation varied from 5% in Yorkshire and the Humber and in London to 14% in the North West. The 2012 Health and Social Care Act conferred responsibility for oral and general health improvement to Local Authorities (LA's). Local Authorities are now statutorily required to provide or secure oral health surveys. The oral health surveys are carried out by the suppliers in line with the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) (formerly Public Health England) dental public health intelligence programme (DPHIP, formerly the national dental epidemiology programme). OHID provides a protocol for the population group under scrutiny describing the standardised methods that fieldwork teams should use when undertaking the main survey. The initial Service requirement is to undertake the DPHIP surveys as a minimum; however, it is recognised that this may require changing by agreement over the lifetime of the Contract following review of oral health needs assessment and analysis of data. The Authorities may require the Supplier to carry out surveys, to meet local needs, which are not part of the DPHIP. In these circumstances the Authorities will give sufficient notice to the Supplier and negotiate any variations to the Contract and associated costs. This aim of the service is to undertake epidemiology fieldwork activity to enable accurate collation of dental data in respect of 3-year old children in pre-school / nursery for submission in line with the Dental Public Health Intelligence Programme (DPHIP) annual survey programme and in accordance with the survey protocol. The objectives of the service are to: • Engage with commissioners and local authority leads to consider each forthcoming survey • Agree the sample size with the commissioners and use agreed sampling methods. A minimum sample size of 250 examined children is required per lower-tier local authority, from a minimum of 20 nursery / pre-schools. • Obtain agreement to participate and examine the minimum number of participants as required in the national dental survey protocol • Ensure that the method for data collection is in line with national protocols • Use appropriate staff with enhanced DBS checks and ensure all clinical examiners are trained and calibrated in line with national standards to undertake the surveys. • Work in collaboration with dental epidemiology co-ordinators (DEC) and dental epidemiology trainers • En... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/dental-public-health-intelligence-programme-dphip-survey-fieldwork-3-year-old-nursery-pre--ocds-h6vhtk-068637) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 85130000 - **Delivery regions:** UKD - **Description:** The national programme of dental surveys are co-ordinated by OHID.
