## Summary

The Cornwall Council is inviting tenders for the "Infant Feeding Peer Support Service" aimed at enhancing breastfeeding rates in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. This procurement falls under the health and social work services industry category and is valued at £132,000. The tender period is currently active, with submissions due by 13th May 2019. The project is part of a wider initiative that involves a commitment to meet standards set by the UNICEF Baby Friendly Initiative, with services to be delivered primarily in the South West region of England. The contract is expected to commence on 1st July 2019 and will run until 31st March 2022, following an open procedure for tendering.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those focused on community health initiatives and family support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) should consider participating, as the contract specifically encourages their involvement. Entities capable of delivering peer support services and enhancing breastfeeding pathways would find this tender particularly relevant, allowing them to contribute meaningfully to local health improvements while expanding their operational footprint in the region.

## Notice

As part of the commitment to increase breastfeeding rates in Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, and led by the local Infant Feeding Co-ordinators the maternity and health visiting services have recently been re-assessed for UNICEF Baby Friendly Initiative, and the Neonatal Unit is also working towards the standards. The delivery of the existing peer support service significantly contributed to the standards achieved in the assessment. There is a local commitment to building the current network of peer supporters and improving the breastfeeding pathway for all women.
