Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Swindon Borough Council commissioned maternity health services in Swindon. The work covers the Health in Pregnancy Team, focused on smoking during pregnancy, and a contribution to the Infant Feeding Service. It is a health service contract, including outpatient care. The requirement brings pregnancy-related smoking support together with support for infant feeding; suppliers working in maternity, pregnancy health or infant-feeding services may find the subject matter relevant. The contract was awarded to Great Western Hospital.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Great Western Hospital was selected through Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process A, without prior publication of a competition. The contract was signed on 5 December 2025. Its stated lifetime value is £192,260, covering 1 February 2026 to 31 January 2029, with two stated 12-month extension options ending on 31 January 2030 and 31 January 2031. The published evaluation rationale was that there was no realistic alternative provider; the criteria also list quality and price, each with a description of 100. One bid was recorded. The procurement was handled as a single requirement.

For suppliers considering a future requirement from Swindon Borough Council, this award indicates demand for a joined-up contribution to pregnancy health and infant feeding services. Credible providers would need to show they can deliver support through a Health in Pregnancy Team addressing smoking during pregnancy and contribute to an Infant Feeding Service. The selection rationale was that there was no realistic alternative provider, so evidence of a distinctive ability to meet this combined service requirement would be commercially important. The award went to a hospital provider through a direct award route, rather than an open competition. Suppliers should assess whether their service model and relevant maternity-health and infant-feeding experience could meet the same local requirement.
