The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with submissions due by 22nd January 2018. The contract, valued at £20,000, is set to commence on 1st April 2018 and will run until 31st March 2021. This initiative falls under the health and social work services category, as outlined by the Class CPV code 85000000, and will enhance the management of voluntary support for breastfeeding mothers in the area. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in health and social services, particularly those experienced in volunteer coordination. Companies that demonstrate a strong understanding of the voluntary sector's nuances and are capable of building and maintaining a volunteer network in Derbyshire will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Engaging in this tender could lead to significant business growth by contributing to vital health initiatives while establishing meaningful partnerships within the community. ## Notice Derbyshire Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (DCHS) is seeking bids for provision of a Breastfeeding Volunteer Support Service. The service shall offer coordination and management of voluntary support to women establishing breastfeeding throughout the geographical area of Derbyshire excluding Derby City. This opportunity has arisen as a result of DCHS being successful in bidding for an Infant and Toddler Nutrition Peer Support Service commissioned by Derbyshire County Council (DCC). DCHS propose sub-contracting part of this bid to a voluntary sector organisation to support the management of a volunteer team. This is with recognition of the unique insight and support the voluntary sector can provide; particularly with regards their ability to understand the volunteer environment and to recruit, grow and sustain a volunteer network across Derbyshire. The Breastfeeding Volunteer Support Service will sit within the wider DCHS Infant and Toddler Nutrition Peer Support Service and will contribute to reducing health inequalities and improving health and wellbeing for families in Derbyshire by promoting breastfeeding initiation and sustainment, providing support for healthy eating habits and a wider ambition to reduce childhood overweight and obesity.
