Summary of the contracting process

NHS England is planning a Maternity and Neonatal Patient Reported Experience Measure service (MatNeo PREM). The work concerns collecting and analysing feedback from maternity and neonatal patients, alongside social and health research, evaluation and data analysis. It also covers the service model and related information-system planning. The service is intended to support understanding of patient experience in maternity and neonatal care. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The buyer is NHS England.

This is at the planning stage: NHS England has set out an intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. It is seeking supplier responses through a request for information to understand market capability and capacity and obtain feedback on the service model. The buyer expected to publish a subsequent notice on 2 November 2026. The anticipated contract period runs from 14 December 2026 to 31 March 2028. The published estimated value is £0, so no usable contract budget is indicated. The process is arranged as one lot. NHS England has scheduled the RFI response deadline for 19 October 2026; this is a market-engagement deadline, not a tender bid deadline. The procurement is described as above threshold.

This preparation exercise is relevant to suppliers able to design or deliver patient-reported experience measurement services for maternity and neonatal care. NHS England is looking to gauge both supplier capacity and capability, and to receive feedback on its proposed service model. Relevant strengths include survey design and analysis, social or health research, data analysis and evaluation, with an understanding of obstetric and neonatal services and the patient experience in those settings. Suppliers with the ability to advise on information systems or technology supporting the service may also be well placed. The lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so organisations of those types may contribute, including through specialist research or analytics capabilities. No specific accreditation or qualification requirements are set out at this stage; this is an opportunity to inform service planning, not to submit a contract bid. (100–150 words each)
