The Ministry of Defence is seeking a supplier for a high-quality, accessible Defence Healthy Child Programme (DEFHCP) to deliver an adapted 0–19 prevention and care system for eligible family members (EFMs) living overseas. The DEFHCP will be broadly aligned to the UK National Healthy Child Programme but tailored to Defence and overseas populations, providing an integrated single point of access to community midwifery and specialist community public health nurse (SCPHN) services in partnership with Defence Primary Healthcare (DPHC), Defence Medical Command (DMedC), education, welfare and community services to support parents from preconception through pregnancy and child development, improve outcomes, reduce inequalities and strengthen governance and assurance of overseas healthcare. The programme is intended to be closely integrated with primary care delivered by DPHC Overseas, and all prime contractors must meet MOD cyber security controls in DEF STAN 05-138 v4; the Cyber Risk Assessment has set the requirement at Level 1 - Foundation (Reference: RAR- BEFPJNK), with compliance demonstrated via the Supplier Assurance Questionnaire (SAQ) or, where necessary, an approved Cyber Implementation Plan.
