This procurement, classified under research and development services, is currently at the planning stage. The closing date for quotation submissions is set for 15th October 2018, with the contract intended to start on 22nd October 2018 and conclude by 31st March 2019. The service will be delivered in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in health consultancy, marketing, and community health services to expand their operations. Suppliers with expertise in conducting market research, community outreach, or promoting health awareness initiatives would be particularly well-suited to apply. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate in this competitive process, which aims to enhance public knowledge regarding pre-conception health, ultimately improving outcomes for families in the borough. ## Notice Sandwell Public Health is looking to commission an external agency to help improve awareness of the importance of Pre-Conceptual Care before choosing to start a family. We are aware that the Tommy's Pre-conception 'Are You Ready' Campaign has recently been launched, which we plan to promote widely across the borough but would like to seek the views of people that this campaign may not reach. There has been increasing recognition that achieving a healthy pregnancy outcome is strongly influenced by a woman's health status, lifestyle and history prior to conception. The development of pre-conception care that promotes health and prevents disease in women of reproductive age is also important to improve health outcomes.
