About

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is seeking feedback from suppliers on delivering a service that ensures infants born to mothers living with HIV in England have timely access to formula milk and related sterilising equipment for up to 12 months from birth. This is a preliminary market engagement, not a call for competition: DHSC is sharing a draft specification to gather views on market interest, capability and capacity, refine the final specification and procurement strategy, and identify risks or barriers. DHSC has not prescribed a preferred delivery model and welcomes innovative proposals; the engagement runs in two parallel stages—a Microsoft Teams webinar on 9 September 2026 at 14:00 and a structured Microsoft Form questionnaire to be completed by no later than 28 September 2026 at 13:00hrs. Please review the attachments for details on how to participate in this preliminary market engagement process.

Insight

This could be valuable for suppliers of infant formula and related sterilising equipment and for service providers able to propose delivery models that ensure timely access across England. Key considerations: this is market engagement (not an immediate procurement), respondents should be prepared to demonstrate capability and capacity to supply up to 12 months, and to meet the webinar (9 Sept 2026, 14:00) and questionnaire (by 28 Sept 2026, 13:00) deadlines while addressing risks and barriers noted in the draft specification.
