In plain English
Hartlepool Borough Council wants a dental provider to design, run and pilot a fluoride varnish programme in around 10 primary schools. Fluoride varnish is a protective coating painted onto children's teeth to help prevent decay. The schools were chosen using tooth brushing participation and dental survey data showing how many children already have decayed, missing or filled teeth.
What the buyer wants
• Design, set up and deliver a targeted fluoride varnish programme across the pilot schools, using evidence-based practice • Send information to schools and parents to encourage engagement and support for the scheme • Liaise with schools and parents to obtain informed consent and a medical history for each child before treatment starts
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The notice requires a dental provider able to lead clinical treatment of children in schools, so most small businesses without dental clinical services and governance would be ruled out.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
