Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council is commissioning health services under its Healthy Babies Best Start Family Hub offer in Coventry. The work supports nationally mandated Best Start for Life activity through two service areas: improving mental health and wellbeing for parents and prospective parents of children under two, and improving infant feeding outcomes, particularly specialist support during pregnancy and the first 10 days after birth. The procurement is divided into two lots: Perinatal Mental Health and Parent-Infant Relationships, and Infant Feeding. A provider is sought for each lot, with services delivered in Coventry. This is a health services contract, classified under CPV 85140000 (miscellaneous health services), and is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

The process reached tender: Coventry City Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submissions in English. Bids were due by 1 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. The planned award period starts at 12:01 on 1 September 2026, when bids were also scheduled to be opened. The estimated total value is £465,000, comprising £225,000 for Lot 1 and £240,000 for Lot 2. Each lot has a 900-day contract period, with no renewal or additional options and variants are not allowed. The tender documents set out the bid instructions, required information, award criteria and their relative importance, together with the assessment stages and method. The procurement is governed by the Provider Selection Regime rather than the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or Procurement Act 2023.

This opportunity suits organisations experienced in delivering community or public health services for families during pregnancy and the early years. Lot 1 is relevant to providers with expertise in perinatal mental health, parent-infant relationships, emotional wellbeing and support for parents or prospective parents of children under two. Lot 2 suits providers able to deliver infant-feeding support, including specialist advice during pregnancy and immediately after birth. Providers should be able to deliver the relevant service consistently across Coventry and demonstrate the operational capacity to support the council’s mandated Best Start for Life workstreams. Organisations may focus on one service area, since the requirement is split between two lots. The tender documents define the information and evidence needed to demonstrate suitability and performance against the award criteria.
