The contract, valued at £5,000,000, will commence on 1st April 2024 and run for an initial three-year period with possible extensions. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the Council's maximum budget for the contract is £1,000,000 per annum. The lead provider will be responsible for developing, implementing, and managing the service model in collaboration with VCF community providers. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the health and social work services sector, to engage with Sefton Council in delivering public health services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The Council aims to address health inequalities by prioritizing early intervention and prevention activities in communities. The procurement process aligns with the "Light Touch" regime under the EU Procurement Directives, emphasising a focus on addressing health needs and inequalities within the borough. ## Notice Sefton Public Health aims to protect and improve the health of Sefton's residents, reducing preventable diseases and the differences in life expectancy and healthy life expectancy between communities. The programme aims to tackle inequality by harnessing targeting support and interventions for our most disadvantaged communities and vulnerable groups and includes those with mental health problems, heart disease, lung cancer, liver disease and other cancers which are the main causes of deaths in the most deprived communities in Sefton. To address the health needs and health inequalities within the borough the 'Living Well Sefton - Community' (LWS) commission will need to be continually responsive to the day-to-day challenges that people face and which are often a barrier to them achieving positive behaviour change. It is intended that the LWS - Community will support people to maximise health opportunities by addressing the wider social determinants of health and multiple lifestyle behaviours. The aim is to reduce the levels of preventable disease and future reliance on health and social care and for the people of Sefton to have a good quality of life for as long as possible. The first phase of the LWS Community was commissioned in July 2016 as Sefton Council looked to contract with a provider/s to develop and operate a flexible, innovative, and integrated health improvement service that focused on prevention and early intervention. The service is now in its seventh year of operation and is comprised of three elements. This LWS - Community element is a key part of the wider LWS service, which also includes two additional specialist areas: Smoke free Sefton and Active Sefton . These are commissioned separately . This procurement is intended to build on the successes of the existing LWS - Community offer, harnessing excellent practice and prioritising activity aligned to early intervention and prevention in communities and responding to local need. This will be done by commissioning a lead provider who will develop, implement, and manage an agreed delivery model through a series of subcontract arrangements with but not limited to VCF community providers. This contract will commence 1st April 2024 and run for a core period of three years, with two one-year extension options. This procurement is being undertaken in accordance with section 7 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, also known as the "Light Touch" regime under the EU Procurement Directives. The Council's maximum budget for this contract is PS1,000,000 per annum. The price agreed for the contract is subject to the ongoing availability of sufficient funding. In the event that during the contract period the Local Authority does not have sufficient funds to cover the price of the contract the Contractor will develop and agree a contract variation with the Commissioner such that the contract price remains within the funding available. In the event that agreement cannot be reached the d Additional information: The tender documents can be found on The Chest (www.the-chest.org.uk) under reference DN686628. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9d35ac4d-76a1-4420-aa59-8e519219c662 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Sep 2023 | | Submission deadline | 23 Oct 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2024 - 31 Mar 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £5,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SEFTON COUNCIL | | Locality | BOOTLE | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L20 3NJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD73 Sefton | | Local authority | Sefton | | Electoral ward | Derby | | Westminster constituency | Bootle | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 20 Sep 2023 at 15:13 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9d35ac4d-76a1-4420-aa59-8e519219c662 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9d35ac4d-76a1-4420-aa59-8e519219c662 20th September 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.sefton.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
