Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process to award a contract under the Provider Selection Regime for developing the "Suffolk Perinatal Loss Pathway." This initiative focuses on delivering health services, specifically targeting women and birthing individuals experiencing moderate to severe mental health responses following perinatal loss. The contract, governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, was awarded using the 'Direct Award A' process to the East Suffolk and North Essex Foundation Trust. The procurement took place without a prior call for competition, reflecting the necessary bespoke nature of these specialised services. The project's administration will be supported by key individuals, including Jessica Hood, Peter Henson, and Sarah Wilson, and will take place across Suffolk, UK.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for organisations skilled in providing integrated health services, particularly those with expertise in mental health and maternity care, to enhance their service offerings. The Suffolk Perinatal Loss Pathway aims to engage specialists who can blend emotional and psychological support with medical expertise to deliver a compassionate and effective service. Businesses adept at creating partnerships with the NHS and capable of offering bespoke healthcare solutions stand to benefit significantly from participating in similar procurement opportunities. With a direct award granted, highlighting a need for particular skill sets, companies already operating in the healthcare services domain might find it strategic to position themselves as potential contenders in future negotiations or adjacent service requirements.
