The procurement, currently in the planning stage, focuses on providing community support services designed to assist breastfeeding mothers in a café-based environment. This opportunity aims to replace an existing contract with the National Childbirth Trust, which is scheduled to conclude on 31st March 2022. Interested providers must engage with the CCG by 4th March 2022 to discuss potential collaborations and service delivery. The procurement falls into the services category, specifically targeting health and social work services within the community sector. This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in health and social care services. Businesses with expertise in community engagement, breastfeeding support, and education could benefit greatly from this contract. As NWL CCG may transition to an Integrated Care Board (ICB) in 2022, interested providers should be prepared to adapt to potential changes in governance and service delivery expectations while also contributing to community well-being through their services. ## Notice NWL CCG requires a community breastfeeding support service in Hounslow to offer breastfeeding support services through a cafe based environment. The aim of the service is to provide non-clinical environment drop in sessions which enables mothers to access both social support and expert advice and resources. The current service offers a qualified and licensed Breastfeeding Counsellor who facilitates a Baby Cafe across 4 venues for 6.5 hours a week, over 48 weeks. Key services required include: - To provide a drop in centre to support breastfeeding mothers on how to breastfeed. - To provide information and support to mothers and families. - To provide breastfeeding, practical and problem solving support by covering difficulty and issues faced by new parents, including baby feeding, and to provide an opportunity to discuss concerns, share experiences and ideas. - To provide informal education and practical breastfeeding support programmes delivered by both health professionals/practitioners and peer supporters in accordance with local population needs. - To provide a skilled 1:1 breastfeeding service and social support. - To signpost mothers to other support services within and around neighbouring boroughs. The CCG currently has a contract in place with withThe National Childbirth Trust (NCT) to provide the above services. The term of this contract is 12 months, 1st April 2021 - 31st March 2022 (value: PS36,655.00) during which time, the CCG will assess the needs of the service users and consider how (if relevant) it needs to: - Secure the needs of the people who use the services. - Improve the quality of the services - Improve the efficiency in the provision of the services including through the services being provided. NWL CCG is considering options for making future arrangements for these services beyond 1st April 2022 which may involve looking to tender the opportunity in the future. Any capable provider may come forward by 4th March 2022 to engage with the CCG. If it is the case that The National Childbirth Trust (NCT) is the only provider capable of delivering the services described, then the CCG will look to award a further contract to The National Childbirth Trust (NCT) for a further 12 months. During 2022, it is anticipated that NWL CCG will be succeeded by an Integrated Care Board (ICB). Any future contract and/or procurement opportunity may therefore be in the name of the ICB. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5f2acb39-5bed-4a03-b1b7-c2d763ab355c | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 4 Mar 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTH WEST LONDON CLINICAL COMMISSIONING GROUP | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | North West London | | Postcode | NW1 5JD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | Marylebone | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 75200000 - Provision of services to the community - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 10 Feb 2022 at 14:59 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5f2acb39-5bed-4a03-b1b7-c2d763ab355c - 1 Feb 2022 at 13:17 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6ea7a8c2-8da6-49d4-911b-925103de1cce - 28 Jan 2022 at 14:31 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e2be7890-a490-42e9-a676-5ad4d42d77dd ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5f2acb39-5bed-4a03-b1b7-c2d763ab355c 10th February 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6ea7a8c2-8da6-49d4-911b-925103de1cce 1st February 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e2be7890-a490-42e9-a676-5ad4d42d77dd 28th January 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
