Ealing Council 0-19 Healthy Child Programme (HCP)
Ealing Council is re-tendering its 0-19 Healthy Child Programme contract after negotiations with the current provider failed over costs.
Ealing Council decided in November 2025 to re-tender its £7.15 million 0-19 Healthy Child Programme (HCP) contract. This decision, made during a Cabinet meeting, followed unsuccessful negotiations with the current provider, Central London Community Health NHS Trust (CLCH), because the pricing requested exceeded available financial resources. The council aims to have a new contract in place within 12 months of the November 2025 decision.
The procurement process for the 0-19 Healthy Child Programme, which provides health visiting, school nursing, and child weight management services for children aged 0-19, needs to be expedited. This is to avoid a contract gap after 1st October 2025 for the £7.15 million service provided by Ealing Council.
