This procurement is classified under health and social work services and is based in London, United Kingdom. The tender is currently in the planning stage, with a key engagement deadline set for 3rd June 2019. The expected contract period is for three years starting from October and November 2019 for the respective services, with an opportunity to extend for an additional 24 months based on performance and funding availability. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare and social support sectors, particularly those offering maternity and peer support services. Companies capable of providing innovative solutions for vulnerable women during pregnancy and early motherhood, as well as those experienced in engaging local communities, would be especially well-suited to compete. The combined value of the contracts could reach up to £1,050,000 over the potential five-year period, making this an attractive opportunity for providers looking to expand their services in the region. ## Notice NHS Newham, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG's) wish to commission a provider to deliver our Maternity Voices Partnership (MVP). MVP's give women and their families the opportunity to feedback on their recent maternity experience and to influence service changes in local maternity services through direct partnership working. NHS Newham and Tower Hamlets CCG's also wish to commission a maternity peer support service that recruits, trains and matches up volunteer peer supporters, who provide practical and emotional support to vulnerable women during pregnancy, birth and the early weeks of motherhood. A Bidders Event will be held week commencing the 13th of May 2019. Bidders will be informed of the date, time and location . Requests to participate must be submitted electronically via: https://procontract.due-north.com/Login Tower Hamlets and Newham, Women's Health and Family Services have been commissioned to provide the "Maternity Mates" project. This project recruits, trains and matches up volunteer peer supporters, or 'Maternity Mates', who provide practical and emotional support to vulnerable women during pregnancy, birth and the early weeks of motherhood. Because the contracts for these services are coming to an end, we now have to go out to the market to invite the existing and any new and interested providers to bid for new contracts. As our CCG's have historically commissioned similar services from the same providers we are now formalising these joint commissioning arrangements. We expect that this approach will provide joined up services working more closely with our one shared hospital trust, Barts Health NHS Trust. We also think this approach will enable us to commission a model that meets the needs of women and families, particularly our very mobile population and women who live, work and use services right across our patch. We would like to hear from local women and their families and healthcare providers and professionals in the field to share their thoughts on these existing services. We also want to hear what you want to see in future so that we can ensure that the commissioned services best meet the needs of our local communities. Please complete this anonymous survey that should take you no longer than 10 minutes to complete. Please also share this with anyone else you think may be interested in completing this survey. https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/BDWZCPQ The procurement will be advertised via OJEU and Contract Finder,providers may bid for one or both of these contracts Additional information: The services are covered by the Light Touch Regime are set out at Schedule 3 (Social and Other Specific Services) of PCR 2015. If the value of the Contract is over 615, 000 GBP the Contracting Authority must advertise it in the OJEU, although there is flexibility as to the design of the remainder of the Procurement Process the Commissioner is not voluntarily following any other part of the Regulations. The procedure that the Commissioner is following is as set out in the Invitation to Tender. The Process will be similar to Open Procedure process under the Regulations but, for avoidance of doubt, the commissioner is not running the Process as though the Open Procedure under the Regulations applies and so reserves the right to depart from that procedure at any point.
