Issue details
Baby Feeding and Wellbeing Service
The purpose of the report is to seek approval to insource the Baby Feeding and Wellbeing Service into the council. This contract was approved for an open competitive tender in 2021/22 quarter 4. Cabinet Contracts forward plan. Since this period, a national policy development of Family Hubs has been introduced. This has provided funding and strategic focus to better integrate the community services working with children and families. As a result, the contracting approach for the Baby Feeding and Wellbeing Service has been re-assessed and it is proposed to insource this service instead of open competitive tendering. Approval for the change in contracting approach is sought accordingly.
