## Summary

The Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council has initiated a tender process for the provision of Safer Sleep Cots aimed at ensuring families without safe sleeping spaces for their babies receive necessary equipment. The service, falling under health services category (CPV code: 85100000), will be delivered in England, United Kingdom. The tender, with a value of £72,000 and an open procedure, is currently at the tender stage with a deadline for submissions by 7th March 2024. The contract period is set to run from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2026.

This tender presents a business growth opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs interested in providing health services within the specified region. Businesses that can supply cots or cot beds, in adherence to safer sleep guidance, and offer follow-up services, including onward referrals, stand a good chance to compete effectively in this procurement process. Suitable businesses should focus on service provision, compliance with health regulations, and ability to deliver within the defined contract period.

## Notice

The overall aim of this service is to ensure that families identified by the Health Visitors in Blackburn with Darwen, that are unable to provide a safe sleeping space for their baby, are provided with the equipment necessary to provide a safe sleeping environment. This will be achieved through provision of a cot or cot bed (depending on size required by the family), and reinforcing the safer sleep guidance initially provided by the Health Visitors. Additionally, a follow up visit will be provided to ensure the cot is being used safely and additional onward referrals are identified and actioned where appropriate.
