## Summary

The London Borough of Hackney has awarded a contract for the "Birth Companions" project, under the Health and social work services category. The contract, valued at £99,981 GBP, is aimed at providing support to women at risk of removal of their baby post-birth. The service covers one-to-one support during pregnancy, birth, and up to a year post-birth, with a contract duration from September 1, 2023, to August 31, 2025.

This tender by the London Borough of Hackney offers an opportunity for businesses specializing in health and social work services to engage in a meaningful project that supports vulnerable women in the City and Hackney area. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate in this initiative, as it focuses on delivering essential care and advocacy for women going through challenging life circumstances.

## Notice

The Perinatal Navigator Pilot will offer practical, emotional and informational support and advocacy to women who are experiencing or at risk of removal of their baby at or after birth. This will be delivered through one-to-one support by a specialist practitioner. The service will provide continuity of care for women during pregnancy, birth and up to a year after birth, as early and quickly as possible following referral. Support for women will continue where women/families are placed in the Mother and Baby Unit, parenting assessment units or foster arrangements, and post separation. The service will be available to women living in City and Hackney or registered with a City and Hackney GP.
