OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council has completed a public procurement process for the delivery of a "Physical Activity Programme to Support Community Falls Prevention and Management", focusing on the ongoing delivery and evaluation of strength and balance classes. This initiative aims to develop a falls prevention pathway and will be executed within the Edinburgh region, identified by CPV code 85323000, which pertains to community health services. The procurement followed a limited procedure method, characterised by a direct award facilitated through the publication of a Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency (VEAT) Notice on 9 July 2025. The contract was awarded to Edinburgh Leisure and signed on 28 August 2025, marking the transition into the active stage of procurement with a total value of £500,000 GBP.

This tender provides significant prospects for business growth, especially for those involved in community health services. The opportunity is particularly suitable for businesses that specialise in health and social care services, as it supports the delivery and evaluation of community-based programmes. Given the framework of the light touch procurement regime, organisations already possessing experience in community health services delivery or looking to extend their portfolio in public health initiatives could benefit substantially. The focus on collaboration and ongoing evaluation offers potential for innovation in healthcare strategies and contributes to longer-term commissioning for service providers.
