The contract is expected to commence on 1 October 2020 and conclude on 30 September 2021, with a total budget of £22,000 allocated for this service. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in social work and maternity services. Companies capable of contributing to the co-production and development of maternity care, particularly those with experience in collaborative models, would be well-suited to compete. Given the increased demand for maternity services, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses that can demonstrate capacity and innovation in this sector will find this to be a valuable opportunity for growth. ## Notice Devon Maternity Voices Partnership (MVP) is a team of women, their families, commissioners and providers of maternity care working together to review and contribute to the development of maternity care in Devon. The Better Births report was published in 2016 and sets out our vision for the planning, design and safe delivery of maternity services in England. It outlines how women, babies and families will be able to get the type of care they want; and how staff will be supported to deliver such care The Better Births document states that local maternity services should be designed through a co-production model. It states that Maternity Voices Partnership's (MVP's) are the best way for instituting co-production. MVP's are independent and multi-disciplinary formal committees supported by commissioners and providers of maternity services. Devon MVP was established in October 2018 and to ensure its independence from NHS Devon CCG it was hosted by an external organisation. Devon MVP was funded from October 2018 to October 2019 by the South West Clinical Network with a budget of PS15K. NHS Devon CCCG are responsible for funding Devon MVP moving forward and provided funding for Devon MVP of PS20K from October 2019 to October 2020. Devon MVP have requested PS22K budget for 2020/2021. An independent chair was appointed for Devon MVP in October 2018, when this individual moved on as per best practice the next chair was elected in September 2019 by the Devon MVP partnership board. Recently Devon MVP have increased their capacity to respond to the increased demand for co-production during the COVID period and are planning to ask their membership to agree that the additional capacity becomes a permanent arrangement. This procurement is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/421b0640-8e5f-4061-95bd-886650c41678 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - Request for Quotation | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Aug 2020 | | Submission deadline | 15 Sep 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2020 - 30 Sep 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £22,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOUTH CENTRAL AND WEST COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | EXETER | | Post town | Exeter | | Postcode | EX2 4QL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK43 Devon CC | | Local authority | Exeter | | Electoral ward | Newtown and St Leonard's | | Westminster constituency | Exeter | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85312000 - Social work services without accommodation - 85320000 - Social services ## Release History - 28 Aug 2020 at 13:12 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/421b0640-8e5f-4061-95bd-886650c41678 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/421b0640-8e5f-4061-95bd-886650c41678 28th August 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/scwcsu/aspx/Home ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
