Description

Through its baby box scheme, Wandsworth Council wants to ensure that all new young parents have access to the items needed for their child's development, safety and play. The baby box scheme includes a physical baby box and wrap-around support for young new parents aged 20 and below (or 25 for those with additional vulnerabilities). The baby box scheme will deliver an end-to-end early years support service, including a portal for registration and referral processes, a contact centre for enquiries and queries, and sourcing, packing and delivering the physical baby boxes themselves. This notice is signalling the Council's intention to direct award a contract to the supplier for a period of 21 months 11 days - from 21 August 2025 to 31 May 2027.
