Through the tender evaluation

be met.
3. 
A strong bid in terms of the service model and
delivery.
4. 
A robust community and place-based approach to
service delivery and vision to improve children health and
wellbeing.
 
Options considered and rejected
were: Not to award the
contract.
 
Assessment of Risk: Medium
The incumbent provider has
delivered the Healthy Child Programme for over a decade, therefore
there will be multiple known and unknown interdependencies with
other health services that will need to be risk assessed and
managed.
 
The source of funding
is: Public Health
Grant.
