Summary of the contracting process

The recent completion of the Wolverhampton Children's and Young People's Activity Programme has been announced by Wolverhampton City Council. The contract, valued at a gross amount of £408,000, was awarded to Wolverhampton Wanderers Foundation and focuses on delivering community-based physical activity sessions. This initiative is part of the Yo! Active programme, designed to enhance health outcomes and reduce inequalities by providing free physical activities for children and young people in Wolverhampton. Completed under the light-touch regime, the procurement followed the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using an open competition method. The contract period is set to commence on 1st April 2026 and will conclude by 31st March 2027, with optional extensions depending on funding. This project falls within the services category, specifically targeting health and social work services in the UKG39 region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations active in community health and physical education, particularly those with experience in engaging less active young populations. SMEs and VCSEs are particularly encouraged to participate, given the emphasis on regional development and inclusive service delivery. The programme provides a platform for businesses to leverage their expertise in delivering innovative and sustainable physical activity solutions, creating pathways for volunteer and advisory roles among young people. Wolverhampton City's focus on collaboration underlines the importance of integrative and sustainable business partnerships. With the opportunity for renewal extensions, businesses that demonstrate success and alignment with the programme objectives may see long-term growth and continued collaboration with the council.
