Summary of the contracting process

Walsall Council is procuring a community health service to deliver strength and balance support in the Borough of Walsall. The service is aimed at older adults and people at increased risk of falls, frailty and loss of independence. It will provide targeted preventative health interventions to improve strength, balance, mobility and functional ability, reduce falls and related injuries, promote healthy ageing, and help people remain independent in their communities. The provider will also support early identification and intervention, prevent avoidable deterioration, and reduce demand on health and social care services. This is a service contract, classified under community health services (CPV 85323000), comprising one lot and delivered in Walsall.

The procurement has reached tender: Walsall Council invited competitive tender responses through an open procedure. It is conducted under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, specifically regulations 6(7) and 11 of the Health and Social Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Tenders were to be submitted electronically in English by 12:00 on 1 October 2026. The planned contract period is 5 February 2027 to 4 February 2029, with three possible 12-month extensions, potentially continuing to 4 February 2032. Variants are not permitted. The evaluation and public bid opening were scheduled for 13:00 on 1 October 2026. The process is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This opportunity suits providers of preventative health, falls prevention, exercise, physiotherapy, rehabilitation or community wellbeing services for older people and adults at risk of frailty. Strong applicants will be able to assess participants early, identify risks affecting strength, balance, mobility and functional ability, and design and deliver targeted interventions that improve physical capability and confidence. Relevant experience working with older adults, people at risk of falls and people seeking to maintain independence in community settings will be important. Providers should be capable of supporting healthy ageing, reducing avoidable deterioration and coordinating with health and social care services. The requirement is suited to organisations with the operational capacity to deliver a borough-wide service and demonstrate measurable benefits for participants and local services.
