NHS Salford CCG (the "Contracting Authority") is offering a contract for 3 years with the option to extend for a further 2 years, to the successful Bidder to provide Midwife-Led Services that are compliant with national guidance and best practice. The service must provide for the health needs of women and their right to patient choice. The main objectives of the service will be to improve/optimise outcomes for women and their families. Providers will ensure that services will be woman centred, based around the known needs and views of local families working in partnership with other services to ensure unknown needs are met for women and their families, and will fully respect diversity and cultural difference. Services will explicitly target inequalities in health, and aim to meet the needs of vulnerable or excluded groups. Services will provide holistic care acknowledging that pregnancy, birth and breast feeding are essentially normal physiological processes. Integrated care pathways will ensure information sharing, collaborative working and seamless transfer between services. Service delivery covers the following aspects of maternity provision: • Ante-natal care • Antenatal and new born screening • Intra-partum care • Post-natal care for mother, baby and family The service will be available to all pregnant women registered with a GP in Salford, Bolton and Wigan. Women can self-refer and referrals will also be accepted from GPs and other health professionals including Health Visitors. Full details of the Service are provided within the Service Specification. The existing FMU based on the Salford Royal site will close in 2017. The CCG is working closely with Salford City Council to provide alternative FMU premises and have identified a council owned site in Salford. Work is in hand to transform the current building into a new FMU that will become a community hub. Salford City Council will ensure that the structure of the building is fit for purpose and will meet the standard requirements in terms of scale and quality. The design of décor and detailed fit out will be undertaken by the Provider; this will include removable equipment e.g. beds/birthing pools etc. The Services to which this Procurement relates fall within Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the "Regulations").
