This procurement is at the tender stage, with the bid submission deadline set for 28th July 2021. The evaluation is expected to be completed by 31st March 2022, with a total contract value of £175,000 for a duration of 180 days. The tender process follows an open procurement method, inviting a wide range of organisations to participate. This evaluation tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the consultancy sector, particularly those specialising in health outcomes and economic analysis. Companies with expertise in social research services, business management consultancy, and medical specialist services would find themselves well-positioned to leverage this opportunity, potentially contributing to vital improvements in maternity care across England. Engaging with NHS England's priorities could enhance these firms' visibility and reputation within the healthcare sector, fostering potential partnerships and future contracts. ## Notice In March 2019 SBLCBv2 was published to provide detailed information for providers and commissioners of maternity care on how to further reduce perinatal mortality across England. It is clear SBLCBv2 is now a major innovation in the delivery of maternity care in England. It is therefore vital that an independent evaluation is undertaken to understand its effectiveness, the impact on maternity services, the women who use them and any unintended consequences. Maternity is one of NHSE&I's priorities and is a key element of the NHS Long-Term Plan. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Every maternity provider was expected to fully implement SBLCBv2 by March 2020 and SBLCBv2 is now included in the NHS Standard Contract.
