Through one-to-one support, social prescribing, and supported access to local services and community organisations, Community Link Workers help individuals identify personal goals, improve resilience, and engage with appropriate community-based support. The service also strengthens links between GP practices and community resources, supporting earlier intervention, reducing health inequalities, and improving overall wellbeing through non-medical approaches that complement primary care services. This contract is planned for a 1 February 2027 start date and to be in place for 1 year with an end date of 31 January 2028 with an option to extend for a further year. The estimated contract value of 320,000 GBP represents the maximum whole-life value of the contract, including the optional extension period.

The Contract Notice for future competition of this requirement is planned to be advertised around 20 July 2026.
