## Summary

The London Borough of Hackney commissioned a specialist infant feeding mobile service delivered in patients’ homes and children’s centres in Hackney, London. Led by specialist midwives, the service provides targeted assessments and interventions for infants with complex feeding difficulties, with particular emphasis on the early neonatal period, from birth to 10 days of life. This is a health and social work service. The requirement is focused on specialist clinical support for newborns and their families rather than general maternity, community nursing or routine health visiting. It would suit providers able to organise a mobile, home-based clinical service and deliver targeted infant feeding assessments and interventions across the borough.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Homerton University Hospital through a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services. The award was made on 10 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract value is £231,000. Price was the stated award criterion. The procurement was structured as one lot; that lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are active. One bid was received, submitted electronically by an SME, and the award was made to Homerton University Hospital. The service is therefore an awarded requirement, not an open competition.

This procurement indicates demand from Hackney for a focused infant feeding pathway for newborns with complex difficulties, combining specialist midwifery, targeted clinical assessment, intervention and mobile delivery in homes and children’s centres. A credible future competitor would need suitably qualified specialist midwives, experience supporting infants during the early neonatal period, and the clinical judgement to assess and manage complex feeding problems. It would also need the operational capacity to coordinate home-based visits and children’s-centre clinics across Hackney, while working with families and relevant local health services. The successful supplier was a local NHS hospital and the only bidder, showing that established clinical credibility, specialist workforce capacity and dependable local delivery arrangements are important strengths for this requirement.
