The Authority has identified a gap in local insight regarding the barriers and enablers to establishing good oral health habits among families with children under five, particularly in relation to tooth-kind diets and regular home toothbrushing. The proposed programme will engage priority communities, including CORE20PLUS5 groups, to gather community insight and support the co-design of accessible, equitable and community-led solutions to improve oral health outcomes.
It is proposed that the provider delivers this work through an established network of community partners, which provides direct access to the identified priority groups, including Eastern European, South Asian, Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, children with SEND, looked-after children, and families living in deprived areas. The engagement and co-production approach requires a provider with strong, trusted relationships and established community reach.
This approach will ensure meaningful engagement with the target communities and support the development of locally informed oral health interventions.

About this data
- Estimates, labelled. The price range, possible competitors and earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards, not published facts, win chances or price advice. The buyer’s own record and the wider market are shown apart, never mixed.
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender and Contracts Finder), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0, updated through the day and rebuilt nightly. Not every figure uses both feeds, and each one shows how many records it rests on: see the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
