## Summary

The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham is commissioning an integrated infant-feeding service for the borough. It combines peer support for parents and carers with specialist infant-feeding support, alongside a breast-pump loan scheme, breastfeeding training and a borough conference, and the development and delivery of bespoke training for the borough. This is a health and social work service, intended to provide both practical support and specialist expertise around infant feeding. The stated delivery area is Barking and Dagenham, London.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 16 November 2026 at 12:00, and the bid deadline was 25 November 2026 at 12:00; the stated award decision date was 29 December 2026. The single lot is valued at £1,151,985 gross. The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with renewal options described as 1+1+1, subject to funding availability and supplier performance, and a possible end date of 31 March 2032. Award is based on quality (60%), price (30%) and social value (10%).

This requirement is suited to providers able to deliver a joined-up infant-feeding offer, combining peer support with specialist services rather than providing training or equipment alone. Relevant capabilities include organising and operating a breast-pump loan scheme, delivering breastfeeding training and a borough conference, and designing tailored training for local needs. Suppliers should be able to bring the workforce and service coordination needed to deliver these activities across the borough and sustain performance through potential extensions. Small and medium-sized businesses are explicitly considered suitable to bid. Quality is the largest part of the evaluation, with social value also assessed, so a credible service model and clear local benefits will matter alongside a competitive price.
