Notice Title

DHSC: OHID: Financial Incentives in Pregnancy Scheme

Notice Description

The Department of Health and Social Care is seeking to appoint a provider to implement and administer a scheme providing financial incentives in the form of vouchers to pregnant women who engage with support to help them become and stay smokefree. A national financial incentives programme is required to further enhance the evidence based support (https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng209/chapter/Recommendations-on-treating-tobacco-dependence-in-pregnant-women) available to pregnant women who are accessing stop smoking interventions, and increase the number achieving a smokefree pregnancy. This will involve establishing and managing a system of issuing vouchers to women registered with the scheme, training and support for participating maternity stop smoking teams, data collection, audit and evaluation. It will require close working with the maternity services and local authority public health teams who provide stop smoking support for pregnant women. Potential suppliers should ideally have experience in both maternity and stop smoking interventions. Intended contract term: 1st October 2023 - 31st March 2025 Estimated contract value: PS7,000,000.00 exclusive of VAT which includes the costs of the vouchers to be distributed. The Department of Health and Social Care is issuing this early engagement to seek information and feedback from the market to gain better understanding of the intelligence, costing model and appetite for this project. A market engagement event will take place virtually at 10am on Tuesday 20th June please register your interest at https://forms.office.com/e/74L0YyjSPV before 5pm on Monday June 19th. Interested suppliers will then be offered an individual 20-minute call with the Authority between 12pm and 4pm on Thursday 22nd June. As part of this process, there is a possibility that we will utilise the Crown Commercial Services Fund Administration & Disbursement Services DPS (FAADS) RM6322. Consequently, providers listed in the DPS who can deliver a managed service will be invited to participate in the tender. FOR INFORMATION ON HOW TO APPLY TO THE DPS PLEASE SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENT. NOTE: For avoidance of doubt this is not a call for competition, the purpose is to advise the market on the forthcoming DHSC procurement and seek feedback from the market that may inform the final specification and/or procurement approach to the services. This market engagement process does not form part of the formal procurement process. When the formal procurement process commences any supplier may join the competition and all supplier Tenders will be evaluated on the same basis. The contractual opportunity will be available in the future via DHSC Atamis eTendering System.
