The procurement falls under the Software package and information systems category, with significant relevance to the healthcare sector. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those providing software solutions relevant to healthcare environments such as medical software packages, document management systems, and electronic data management solutions.

Implicit in the development of the network is the requirement to ensure that women have equal access to advice, guidance, treatment and support and are treated with dignity and care regardless of their circumstances. WM MMN (Maternal Medicine Network) covers the following key LMNS (Local Maternity & Neonatal System) areas: Birmingham & Solihull; Black Country and West Birmingham; Coventry and Warwickshire; Hereford & Worcester; Staffordshire & Stoke on Trent; Shropshire & Telford and Wrekin. These areas are further amalgamating into ICS's during 22/23. The West Midlands Maternal Medicine Network requires a digital support platform - that works for all, is easy to use and access and most importantly improves the service to women across the Region.
