Summary of the contracting process

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Market Engagement Event Living Well Social Network Analysis," focusing on social research services. The initiative forms part of the broader transformation within the Bradford District, which serves as a significant metropolitan authority in England. The project emphasis is on identifying collaboration networks and conducting stakeholder mapping related to public and community health. The region's distinctiveness, with a diverse demographic and a mix of urban and rural areas, underpins the demands of such analysis. A virtual market engagement event is scheduled for the 26th of August 2025, from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm, with interested parties encouraged to register via the YORtender platform by the due date of 25th August 2025. The procurement method initiated as a tender, aims to prepare for future engagement on this project by setting a deadline for further notice on 8th September 2025.

This tender presents a pivotal opportunity for businesses specialising in social research services, data analysis, and the health sector to engage with the public sector, particularly in the context of public health transformation. The value of the project is estimated at £18,000, and the provision of expertise in stakeholder classification and influence mapping will be particularly valuable. Businesses with capabilities in network analysis, especially those experienced in sectors dealing with diverse communities and public health initiatives, will find this project ideally aligned with their expertise. The opportunity aligns well for companies that can deliver innovative solutions in social and economic research to enhance community well-being and digital presence. The project will contribute not only to immediate service delivery but also to the long-term strategic planning within the district's Living Well initiatives.

Notice Title

Market Engagement Event Living Well Social Network Analysis

Notice Description

The Bradford District is the fifth largest Metropolitan Local Authority District in England serving a population of over 530,000. It is the youngest district in the UK with nearly a third of the population aged under 20. And it's diverse - ethnic minorities form a third of the population with more than 150 languages spoken within the district. Geographically, the district includes the city of Bradford itself, the large town of Keighley and a number of smaller towns and villages many with their own strong and distinctive identities. Geographically 66% of the district is rural but 80% of people live in urban areas. The local 'system' is going through substantial change (NHSE/ICB changes and the new blueprint, wellbeing board changes, and the Living Well refresh), along with major national shifts in attitudes and focus on prevention (Such as the NHS long term plan, new DeFRA food strategy, new NICE guidance on obesity, new HFSS and stop smoking policies) therefore public health is at a pivotal moment to reflect on our relationships, community standing, and digital presence. The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council are conducting a market engagement event and looking to see what is available in the market. The provider will be expected; 1) To Identify Living Well collaboration networks, power-interest positions, and influence gaps. * Map and assess both internal and external stakeholders to understand how influence and information flow across the system * Use the Obesity Foresight Map as a reference tool to help define the wider 'system' and identify partnerships and organisations beyond Living Well's current network. 2) Conduct stakeholder mapping and classify stakeholders using Mendelow's Matrix. i.e Classify stakeholders by their level of interest and influence to inform Living Well's engagement strategies and prioritisation. 3) Engage a minimum of 75% of the defined stakeholder sample.
