Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (BNSSG ICB) has awarded a contract for the Maternity and Neonatal Voices Partnership (MNVP) service. This procurement, now in the Award stage, solicited services in the miscellaneous health services category and focuses on maternity and neonatal systems. The contract, notable for its emphasis on structured engagement and diverse representation, is valued at £270,000 with a potential duration of up to three years inclusive of extensions. The service will commence on 15 May 2026, following a mobilisation period starting in April 2026. Key milestones include the contract signature scheduled for 6 May 2026 and the standstill period ending on 5 May 2026. Located in Bristol, this procurement was conducted via an open procedure, providing ample opportunity for competitive bidding among interested parties.

The successful award to Evolving Communities C.I.C., a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) and a voluntary community social enterprise (VCSE), highlights the opportunities within this contract for businesses committed to healthcare and social value. The commissioned provider will support engagement activities across Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire, with a strong emphasis on culturally safe and inclusive approaches. This tender is particularly well-suited for organisations with expertise in community engagement, data collection, and collaborative improvement activities in healthcare. Further, the strong representation needed from diverse voices, including those from minoritised and deprived communities, presents a unique chance for organisations to contribute to significant social value goals and address healthcare inequities while strengthening their standing in the public sector market. Businesses with capabilities in digital systems, governance, and clinical collaboration are encouraged to explore similar future opportunities for growth and partnership in the health services sector.

Maternity and Neonatal Voices Partnership (MNVP) service to NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (BNSSG ICB)

Notice Description

NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (BNSSG ICB) sought a provider to commission a Maternity and Neonatal Voices Partnership (MNVP) service for the BNSSG Local Maternity and Neonatal System (LMNS). The MNVP will act as an independent service user-led partnership, working alongside maternity and neonatal providers to gather, analyse and present the experiences of women, birthing people, babies and families, and support continuous quality improvement and co-production. The service will involve structured engagement, outreach, data collection and analysis, representation at LMNS governance meetings, and collaboration with maternity and neonatal clinical teams across the two acute Trusts within BNSSG. The service will deliver against national MNVP guidance and required outcomes set out by NHS England. The Provider will employ a small core MNVP team (Trust Lead, Neonatal Lead and Engagement role) and provide the infrastructure, governance, supervision, digital systems and support required to deliver a robust and representative MNVP service. Key components of the service include: * Engagement activity across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. * Culturally safe, trauma-informed and inclusive approaches tailored to diverse communities. * Strong representation of Black, Asian and minoritised voices, deprived communities, and seldom-heard groups. * Collection, analysis and thematic reporting of qualitative and quantitative feedback. * Co-production of improvement activities with families and system partners. * Active attendance at LMNS governance, safety and quality forums. * Support for MNVP volunteers. * Social media and communications activity to promote engagement. The MNVP Strategic and Commissioning Lead will remain employed by BNSSG ICB and will work closely with the commissioned provider. The contract is for 2 years with an optional extension of up to 1 year. The value of the contract is PS90,000.00 per annum, giving a total contract value of PS180,000.00 for the initial 2 year term and PS270,000 if the full 1 year extension is adopted. The new contract will commence on the 15th of May 2026 with mobilisation planned from April 2026
