In order to deliver services to support children and young people in North Northamptonshire using an evidence-based approach and health need assessment, the 0 - 19 service has been split into two lots: 0-11 and 11-19.

It includes the Healthy Child Programme, which focuses on early childhood health through regular reviews, immunizations, and health education. There is targeted support for vulnerable parents, expanded access to services, and initiatives like the Infant Feeding Service to promote breastfeeding. The Parent and Infant Mental Health Programme supports emotional wellbeing, while the National Child Weight Management Programme monitors and addresses childhood obesity. All programs aim to reduce health inequalities and improve outcomes for families. Contract Duration - 60 months with the preferred Potential Supplier, with an option to extend for 48 months, making 108 months in total.
