## Notice

Notice of contract award for the Perinatal Mortality Review Tool contract by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) for an initial 3 year term commencing 1st April 2023.

The national Perinatal Mortality Review Tool (PMRT) provides a systematic web-based approach to support objective, robust and standardised reviews to provide answers for bereaved parents and their families about why their baby died and to ensure local and national learning occurs as a consequence of review findings in order to improve care and ultimately prevent future baby deaths.

The PMRT was developed in 2017 and launched in early 2018 with funding provided by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) in England, NHS Wales, the Health and Social Care Division of the Scottish Government, and the Northern Ireland Department of Health (from 2019).

Two primary deliverables:
a. Provision of a national web-based review tool, for use by all maternity and neonatal services to review all stillbirths and neonatal deaths, that sets out a defined set of questions and principles to guide Trusts through a standardised review process.
b. Collation and analysis of the data input via the tool and the production of annual national reports on the key themes arising from the reviews and recommendations intended to improve safe maternity care and safe outcomes for babies.
