Medical Screening of Childcare Providers
£700,000 — stated in the notice
This sits in the upper-middle of the Health & Social Care band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 32,734 valued Health & Social Care tenders in our corpus.
Ofsted has published 4 Health & Social Care notices, about every 7 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around December 2026.
44% of Ofsted’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
