## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust focuses on the "Community Breastfeeding Peer Support Service" for supporting new mothers across Sandwell towns. The project falls under the health services category and aims to provide essential peer support. The procurement, which is at the award stage as of 20 March 2026, is structured as a direct award due to the satisfactory performance of the existing supplier and the best interests of patients and service users. The contract is pending signature, with services scheduled to commence on 13 April 2026, ending on 31 March 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare support services, particularly those that are small or large VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises). With a direct award method, The Breastfeeding Network, a large VCSE, has been selected as the supplier due to its proven capabilities and existing successful contract execution. Organisations familiar with community health and peer-supported services may find similar opportunities appealing due to the focus on continuity and quality of service. Businesses willing to engage in collaborative public health endeavours might leverage such contracts to expand their scope and strengthen community ties.
