## Summary

The London Borough of Hackney commissioned specialist infant-feeding clinics delivered in families’ homes and children’s centres. Led by specialist midwives, the service assesses and supports infants with complex feeding difficulties, particularly during the first 10 days after birth. Its aims include protecting breastfeeding establishment, reducing maternal pain, avoiding unnecessary supplementation and supporting breastfeeding continuation at six to eight weeks. The work is health and social care services, delivered in Hackney. The previous service included both home-based and children’s-centre clinics, and the procurement concerns that specialist clinic provision.

The contract was awarded to Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and signed on 11 September 2026, at a value of £231,000. The process used a restricted procedure under the Provider Selection Regime. The published evaluation split was 90% quality and 10% price. One bid was recorded, from an SME. The single lot is marked cancelled, while the award and signed contract are recorded as active; the procurement description also says the notice was an intention to award rather than a formal award. The available outcome data therefore records Homerton Healthcare as the selected supplier and an active signed contract, alongside the cancelled lot status.

This award demonstrates Hackney’s demand for a specialist, community-based infant-feeding service focused on complex cases in the early neonatal period, rather than general maternity or health provision. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches market would need specialist midwifery capability, the capacity to provide home-based and children’s-centre clinics, and experience assessing and intervening in infant feeding difficulties soon after birth. The service’s outcomes point to practical expertise in supporting breastfeeding establishment, reducing maternal pain, limiting avoidable supplementation and sustaining breastfeeding beyond the immediate postnatal period. The recorded competition attracted one SME bid, indicating that an SME was able to participate; the contract was nevertheless awarded to a large NHS foundation trust.
