What is being bought

In March 2019 SBLCBv2 was published to provide detailed information for providers and commissioners of maternity care on how to further reduce perinatal mortality across England. It is clear SBLCBv2 is now a major innovation in the delivery of maternity care in England. It is therefore vital that an independent evaluation is undertaken to understand its effectiveness, the impact on maternity services, the women who use them and any unintended consequences. Maternity is one of NHSE&I’s priorities and is a key element of the NHS Long-Term Plan.

Lot details

Lot 1

Every maternity provider was expected to fully implement SBLCBv2 by March 2020 and SBLCBv2 is now included in the NHS Standard Contract. The Covid-19 pandemic may have prevented some maternity providers from achieving this target.We seek to commission an independent evaluation of the SBLCBv2 by an external organisation expert in health outcomes and economics. Brief overview of evaluation requirementsThe evaluation should include: • A robust but pragmatic sampling strategy. This should be cognisant of both the need for a methodologically sound and credible sampling approach, and to stay within budget. • The extent to which maternity services across England are implementing all five elements of the care bundle• Identification and extent of ongoing challenges for organisations to implement the care bundle and possible solutions • Whether and how the trusts are carrying out the interventions successfully across their maternity services• Identification of impacts on health inequalities• Identification of any barriers and lessons learned over the previous year due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic We seek to commission an independent evaluation of the SBLCBv2 by an external organisation expert in health outcomes and economics.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Social research services (79315000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
