Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The procurement process undertaken by East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust involves the awarding of a contract titled "Restorative Engagement in Maternity Services - Independent Co-Design Programme." This initiative falls within the development consultancy and counselling services categories, and is situated in Canterbury, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is complete, with key details indicating that the contract period extends from 1 January 2025 to 31 March 2026.
Notably, the procurement method used was direct, below threshold, without competition. This contract opens avenues for businesses specialising in trauma-informed and consent-based restorative programmes, especially those with expertise in consultancy and counselling services. Small and medium-sized enterprises focusing on development consultancy and working with NHS organisations could find substantial growth opportunities here.
Restorative Now Ltd., a supplier engaged in this process, exemplifies businesses suited to the programme. The focus on an independent co-design approach with maternity staff also highlights potential collaborations for businesses that centre on women's voices and lived experience in service improvement initiatives.
Following recommendations from "Reading the Signals: Maternity and Neonatal Services in East Kent" (October 2022), the Contracting Authority has engaged an independent specialist to facilitate a trauma-informed, consent-based restorative programme. Restorative Now Ltd. will co-design approaches with senior EKHUFT maternity staff and families who consented to participate, centring women's voices and lived experience to inform service improvements. Outputs include a co-designed improvement plan, agreed changes to listening/feedback practices, and a thematic report with anonymisation/redaction.
