This procurement is categorised under health services and is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 28th January 2022. The project aims to engage voluntary sector partners to address health inequalities related to pregnancy and childbirth using community-specific approaches. The contract period will commence on 28th February 2022 and end on 26th August 2022, and the initiative is being facilitated through a limited procurement method, specifically a competitive quotation process. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in community engagement and health services, particularly those in the voluntary and community sector. Companies that have experience working with diverse communities, especially in the eastern region of England, will find this an advantageous chance to contribute to essential health initiatives while potentially expanding their service offerings. With a focus on equity in maternity and neonatal outcomes, suitable businesses can leverage this tender to enhance their portfolio and foster partnerships within the local health care ecosystem. ## Notice The Local Maternity and Neonatal System (LMNS) partners across Suffolk and North East Essex would like to work with voluntary sector colleagues to address the inequalities of outcomes experienced by some people within our geographical area. An equity analysis has been completed to understand where our health inequalities lie, what community assets are already in place, and what our priorities are for action. We see our voluntary sector partners as being best placed to work with communities and cohorts of people to achieve the same clinical outcomes for themselves and their baby, regardless of where they live, their age, ethnicity or any other characteristic. We require voluntary sector partners to work with the maternity and neonatal system to either: 1. Propose ways of working with communities at risk of health inequalities associated with pregnancy and childbirth, in order to coproduce support programmes to enable optimal outcomes to be achieved. 2. Use their knowledge and experience of working with certain communities to outline schemes/services that could address inequalities.
