This service is classified under health and social work services and is located in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

The contract, valued at £680,574, is set to commence on 1 February 2022 and will last for two years, ending on 31 January 2024.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialised in health services, particularly those focusing on early intervention, parent and infant mental health, and child development. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that are equipped to provide training, assessments, and support services within this framework would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

NHS Blackpool CCG wishes to commission a pilot for a Specialised Parent Infant Relationship Team to support families who are finding it difficult to develop a positive relationship with their unborn baby, their baby or young child. The pilot will run for two years during which time there will be a focus on the feasibility and acceptability of the service with beneficiaries and referrers/professionals. The aim of the Parent Infant Relationship Team is to improve the quality of parent-infant interactions. The focus of support required will be the parent-infant relationship. It will be an early intervention service that works to support families who are finding it difficult to develop a positive relationship with their unborn baby, their baby or young child. The service will improve the outcomes of the infants and young children by: - * promoting good parent infant relationships and early child development * providing early comprehensive assessment to families * providing evidence informed integrated service * advancing the understanding of parent mental health and parent-infant relationship and * to have a clear understanding of what is available and develop effective pathways * providing training and consultancy to frontline practitioners to enhance recognition and appropriate signposting dyads with relationship difficulties in the early years * working with CAMHS as part of a hybrid model to ensure children aged 2-5 and their families can access support where there are difficulties in the nurturing relationship. Additional information: Midlands and Lancashire CSU is publishing this VEAT Notice to confirm NHS Blackpool CCG's (the CCG) intention to award a contract for the pilot for the Parent Infant Relationship Service to Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Following publication of the VEAT notice on 8 December 2021, there will be a 10-day standstill period, concluding on 20 December 2021. Following satisfactory conclusion of the standstill period, the CCGs will enter into a contract with Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for the 2 year pilot.
