How to Read This Tender
- 1HENRY is a well-established NHS childhood obesity prevention program — research it online to understand the model and what's already expected of providers.
- 2The contract covers a multi-locality area, so check whether you can deliver across all seven locations or if you might need to subcontract or partner with other providers in some areas.
- 3Look in the full tender documents for: the exact localities named, the target number of families/sessions, contract duration, and any existing HENRY training requirements.
- 4Health and social care tenders often score heavily on 'social value' — be ready to explain how your service improves outcomes for disadvantaged families.
- 5Check the specification for whether this is a new service or replacing an existing provider, as this affects what baseline data and handover support you might need.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you don't currently deliver across all seven localities, consider forming a consortium or subcontracting arrangement with local community health providers or charities already embedded in those areas — this strengthens your bid and shows you understand local networks.
- HENRY is often delivered by health professionals (nurses, dietitians, health visitors) or trained community workers — clarify in the tender whether staff need specific qualifications or if training will be provided by NHS GGC.
- Highlight any existing relationships with family support services, children's centers, or GP practices in the NHS GGC area, as commissioners value providers who integrate with existing services rather than working in isolation.
