Lot 1: A Funding source has been made available for a package of baby goods that will support the expense that surrounds a newborn baby. An initial procurement exercise suggests that the Council needs further information on how our ambition can be realised by engaging with potential providers about: 1. The development of a detailed specification outlining the desired appearance and contents of the Baby Pack. 2. The assembly, storage, and distribution of the packs to homes in Rotherham. 3. The management of fluctuating order volumes and payment processing. 4. The application of the Council's social value policy to this procurement.
