UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council has initiated an open tender process for their 'Whole School Body Image Training and Workshops' programme, aimed at cultivating positive body image among children and young people in Corby, United Kingdom. This initiative, part of a preventative approach led by the Council's Public Health team, seeks a service provider to create a comprehensive training package for schools, incorporating primary and secondary education services, staff training, and health services. The procurement is in the Tender stage, with interested parties required to submit their quotations by Thursday, 11 December 2025. The contract is set to commence on 30 January 2026 and conclude on 30 July 2027, with a budget capped at £30,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for enterprises focusing on educational services, professional development, and health consultancy. Specifically tailored for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), the bid emphasizes quality with a 90% weighting in its award criteria, alongside a 10% consideration for price. Providers offering innovative and evidence-based programmes that can upskill school staff and engage families are well-positioned to benefit, as their work will align with the Council’s goals of fostering a culture of body respect and healthy lifestyle choices among young people. This initiative not only gives businesses a chance to expand their services within the public sector but also to contribute to meaningful social change at a local level.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Whole School Body Image Training and Workshops

Notice Description

The Council's Public Health team is seeking to commission an evidence-based programme as part of a preventative approach to establish body respect early in life and address concerns that children and young people (CYP) may already have. The programme should promote positive body image and encourage feeling comfortable and confident in one's own body, supporting healthy choices and overall wellbeing. It should also incorporate elements that foster respect for diversity, self-esteem, and movement for enjoyment rather than appearance, helping CYP to develop lifelong habits that prioritise health and wellbeing over unrealistic body ideals. The Council are therefore seeking proposals from providers to deliver a whole school training package which empowers children and young people (CYP) to respect their bodies and those of others. The package will include direct work with CYP, delivering CPD to school staff and an offer for families. The programme will have three key aims: *To upskill and enhance the understanding and confidence of school staff and system partners to support CYP to have body respect for themselves and others. *To explore and improve CYP's feelings and attitudes towards their own and others' bodies and appearances by establishing whole school inclusive cultures around body respect. *To provide parents/carers with information that empowers them to have supportive discussions with CYP around body image and respect and nurture positive relationships with food and movement from an early age. To support the roll out and align with existing work, the provider will also deliver bespoke training/awareness sessions for the Public Health team and key system partners such as school nurses and youth workers.
