Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Provision of Social Prescribing and Community Wellness" was managed by Wrexham County Borough Council, a sub-central government public authority in the United Kingdom. Despite reaching the tender stage, the process was cancelled on 27 May 2026 due to specific requirements identified during a review. The initial tender invitation was issued on 1 May 2026, with a closing date for submissions on 1 June 2026. The procurement sought services within the health and social work sector, specifically addressing social prescribing and community wellness for residents aged 25 and over in the Wrexham County Borough. The tender was conducted using an open procedure, aiming to deliver a community-embedded, non-clinical intervention model in line with the Welsh devolved regulations. The procurement process involved key market engagement activities and was structured to allow electronic submissions in English or Welsh.

This tender provided opportunities for businesses specializing in health and social care services to expand their influence and operations within the public sector. Companies adept at developing community-based wellness programs, particularly those focusing on holistic health interventions, would find this contract well-suited to their capabilities. The procurement allowed participation from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), enhancing the diversity of potential bidders. The proposed contract offered not only a significant financial opportunity but also the potential for service providers to make a meaningful socio-economic impact within the local community by addressing mental, physical, emotional, and social wellbeing through personalized, therapeutic support plans. The cancellation, however, underscores the importance of adhering to detailed specifications and requirements in future procurement efforts within this domain.
