Notice Description

To commission a provider who will contribute to Sandwell's long-term goals of improving physical and mental well-being and reducing health inequalities associated with physical inactivity.

The objectives detailed in the specification will enable the delivery of a range of accessible and inclusive cycling sessions and interventions, thereby fostering increased physical activity among the residents of Sandwell.

The primary objective of this initiative is to promote physical activity through cycling and to inspire individuals to embark on or advance their personal cycling journeys. The allocated funding will facilitate a series of sessions conducted in green spaces, parks, and other designated venues throughout the six Sandwell towns, thereby offering residents the opportunity to build confidence and access cycling within the borough.
