This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in health services, particularly those with expertise in community health support and innovative service delivery models, to grow their presence by addressing identified local needs. Businesses skilled in workforce training, collaboration with local communities, and supporting diverse demographics, including younger mothers and non-English speakers, would be well-suited for this contract.
The National Childbirth Trust has been awarded the contract, having demonstrated the capability to meet the selection criteria and innovation requirements, but further extensions and elements of the service offer opportunities for other businesses to collaborate or support the service delivery.
