Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council has concluded a procurement process for the "Parent-Infant Relationship Service," aimed at supporting families during the antenatal and postnatal periods to enhance emotional wellbeing and parent-infant relationships. The procurement process, identified as tender number WNC00000524, falls under the health and social work services category. The title reflects the service's intent to improve overall family health and wellbeing in Northampton, UK (region UKF24). Initially announced in a tender published on 22nd July 2025, the award was finalised on 19th September 2025, with the contract commencing on 7th October 2025 and potentially extending until 29th September 2028, inclusive of a renewal option.

The procurement method used was an 'open' below-threshold competitive process, which indicates opportunities particularly suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as two SMEs reached the final bidding stage. The contract was awarded to Family Lives, a Hatfield-based SME, suggesting that businesses specialising in healthcare, social services, or family support could find similar tenders beneficial for growth. Engaged entities must be adept in providing quality healthcare services, supported by thorough responses to quality-related questions outlined in the tender specifications, to secure competitive procurement opportunities like this.
