Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Greenwich procured an infant feeding peer support service for residents across the borough. The service provides breastfeeding support and is intended to meet Best Start for Life grant requirements. It is a community health service, covering delivery across Greenwich rather than the supply of goods or construction works. The requirement sits within a single service lot and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would therefore include organisations that deliver breastfeeding support, infant feeding advice and peer-led community health services for local residents, particularly those able to operate across a London borough and work within public health or early-years support programmes.

The procurement has been completed through a Provider Selection Regime direct award, Route C, without competition and below threshold. The authority selected the existing provider, The Breastfeeding Network, which was awarded the Infant Feeding Peer Support Service. The award date was 1 July 2026 and the contract was signed on 30 July 2026. The awarded value is £330,000 excluding VAT, or £396,000 including VAT. The award contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029; the signed contract records the same end date and a start date of 30 July 2026. Selection used weighted key criteria, with the provider chosen on its combined scores and ability to continue fulfilling the service.

This award demonstrates established demand from the Royal Borough of Greenwich for borough-wide breastfeeding and infant feeding peer support linked to Best Start for Life requirements. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability to provide community-based support to Greenwich residents, organise and sustain peer support activity, and deliver a service suitable for local public health and early-years objectives. Experience of breastfeeding support and infant feeding services would be central, alongside the operational capacity to cover the borough and maintain consistent provision over a multi-year service period. The selection approach also indicates that providers should be able to evidence performance against weighted criteria and show they can deliver continuity and sufficient service quality.
