Description
THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION
Leicester City Council is commissioning Universal Bumps to Babies Antenatal Classes as part of our commitment to the First 1001 Critical Days agenda. These classes will be to support new pregnant parents and their partners/support network to give their new baby the best start in life. It is anticipated that this service would commence in April 2025 to ensure continuity of delivery and equity of support for all pregnant parents in Leicester.
As part of the commissioning process, the authority is undertaking a soft market test. This gives potential providers and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views about the potential service model and specification principles. The commissioners will use the information to appraise options and further develop the specification.
This process does not constitute a formal tender or other competitive bidding process and will not result in the letting of a contract. The authority is using this process solely to test the market to gather information and ascertain the level of interest in this particular service. There are therefore no formal criteria which we will use to judge your responses and it is not our intention to provide any feedback on answers submitted.
