Early diagnosis can prevent severe disability or death, but screening is optional, and parents can decline. Therefore, the objectives are to address the decline in NBBS screening uptake by understanding the underlying reasons and improving the support and training for health professionals. A further objective is to understand why parents decline NBS screening, particularly among the 'movers in' population (babies who have moved into England) and improve health professionals' knowledge and confidence when talking to parents to increase NBS screening uptake. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059761-2025 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Sep 2025 | | Submission deadline | 1 Sep 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 23 Sep 2025 | | Contract period | 28 Sep 2025 - 31 Mar 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,000 | | Lots value | £40,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £39,865 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS ENGLAND | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 8UG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI45 Lambeth | | Local authority | Lambeth | | Electoral ward | Waterloo & South Bank | | Westminster constituency | Vauxhall and Camberwell Green | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ICE CREATES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 33651600 - Vaccines - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 25 Sep 2025 at 13:51 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059761-2025 - 25 Sep 2025 at 13:50 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059760-2025 - 25 Sep 2025 at 13:50 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059759-2025 - 18 Aug 2025 at 15:07 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/049602-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059761-2025 25th September 2025 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059760-2025 25th September 2025 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059759-2025 25th September 2025 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/049602-2025 18th August 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome - https://services.atamis.co.uk/docs/Supplier_User_Guide.pdf - https://www.england.nhs.uk/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
