Supply & Distribution of Baby Packs (1)

[Fileref]:  24-045

The Council are seeking a provider with the capability and capacity to deliver a new pilot scheme on behalf of the Council for the Supply and Distribution of Baby Packs.
The baby pack scheme consists of purchasing good quality goods, assembling, and then delivering an agreed baby pack to new mums in Rotherham who have indicated to their midwife that they would like to receive a pack.
The supplier will be required to deliver up to 2,800 baby packs annually to Mums home address and subject to the volume of midwife registrations completed. This figure is based on annual birth trends over the last two years however the volumes will be subject to the completion of the registration process and may fluctuate.
Bidders interested in this opportunity must submit a Sample Baby Pack for Visual Inspection as part of the quality evaluation, this must include all items contained within the essential list.

The Council’s intention is to establish a single provider framework for 24 months which will enable call off orders to be placed over this period subject to the completion of a midwife registration.
.
Bidders are advised that the budget available for the provision of this scheme is £360,000 per annum over 24 months which equates to a total of £720,000 for the full pilot period. Based on the volume of projected registrations this determines a maximum budget per baby pack of £128.57 for all essential items listed and overheads.
.
The supplier will be required to deliver up to 2,800 baby packs annually subject to the volume of midwife registrations completed. This figure is based on annual birth trends over the last two years however the volumes will be subject to the completion of the registration process and may fluctuate.
.
The Council intends to call off an initial order of 1,400 units (this is based on 2 quarters of the projected births and registrations) to develop a baseline stock level to be held and managed by the successful supplier.
The Councils expectation is for the provider to be able to respond and deliver the baby pack within 24/25 financial year.
.
Bidders interested in this opportunity must submit a Social Value commitment in addition to the core delivery to the scheme as referred within this Information and Instructions document.
