This initiative falls under the health and social work services category and integrates a holistic support package for eligible families. The procurement process followed a limited competition method, classified as "Below threshold", and the contract was awarded to Home-Start Kernow, a local SME, on 6th August 2025. The contract is valued at £40,000 and runs from 11th August 2025 to 10th August 2026. The procurement has reached the award stage and is currently complete.

## Notice

Public Health is seeking a Provider to deliver a Safer Sleep Equipment Scheme in Cornwall. This scheme will provide bundles of essential safe sleeping equipment to families with infants under one year old who are living in unstable or crisis situations and do not have access to safer sleeping equipment. Providers will be able to evidence a range of outputs and outcomes that contribute to supporting families with infants at risk of SIDS. Alongside the provision of equipment bundles, the Provider should ensure that referred families receive safer sleeping advice and are connected to local services, including the Start For Life offer, to deliver a package of holistic support appropriate to the family's needs. The Service resulting from this commission will form an integrated part of a wider safer sleep offer in Cornwall.
