## Summary

The procurement process for "Chair support services in relation to Maternity Reviews" was conducted by the Department of Health & Social Care, located in London, United Kingdom. This direct award focused on providing necessary services for maternity reviews, including administrative support, project management, and specialist advice. The procurement method was chosen because the supplier, Donna Ockenden Limited, has exclusive rights to the required team. The contract is valued at GBP 6,000,000, with a gross amount of GBP 7,200,000, and is set to run from 1st June 2026 to 1st June 2029, with a potential extension until 1st June 2030. The procurement stage is complete, and the award status is pending with the signature date scheduled for 1st June 2026.

This tender presents growth opportunities particularly for SMEs in the service sector, especially those involved in health, investigation, and administrative services. The exclusive nature of this procurement, necessitated by intellectual property rights, limits competition to those with specific expertise and exclusive access. Businesses with the capacity to deliver comprehensive support services for health-related reviews or those possessing similar capabilities might explore potential future collaborations or sub-contracting opportunities arising from similar government procurement needs. Given the considerable contract value and the extension possibilities, this tender highlights potential long-term partnerships with central government departments.
