## Summary

The East Riding of Yorkshire Council has recently completed a procurement process for an "Employee Mindfulness" programme aimed at enhancing the emotional resilience and wellbeing of its staff. This initiative falls under the health and social work services category and is based in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of England. The tender, classified as an open procedure, has a total value of £140,000 and commenced on 1st April 2020, with an initial contract period running until 31st March 2024. The tender period ended on 12th February 2020, and the award was successful for the Northern Centre for Mindfulness and Compassion Ltd on 25th March 2020.

This opportunity presents significant potential for growth for businesses specialising in mindfulness training, mental health services, and employee wellbeing solutions. Companies that can cater to the programme's focus on emotional resilience, particularly those offering innovative approaches to mindfulness and support services for staff transitioning into retirement or informal caring roles, may find this tender especially relevant. Given the Council’s emphasis on a long-term programme lasting up to four years, businesses able to demonstrate their capability in delivering ongoing training and workshops will be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts.

## Notice

In order to support the Council to fulfill its obligations to members of staff in respect of their emotional resilience and wellbeing both at work and in their personal life, East Riding of Yorkshire Council have commissioned a programme of mindfulness workshops and training courses for its employees. The aim of this service is to build people's capacity to thrive, and to create greater resilience to help them deal with issues encountered throughout their private and professional lives. The Council has been running a successful Mindfulness programme for staff members over the past 5 years. The new service will include a re-focus on using mindfulness for capacity building to enable people to thrive in all areas of their life. Other new areas of focus are the addition of Compassionate Care for Unpaid Carers and Retirement Transition for those who are coming to the end of their career. As a part of the Council's commitment to our staff, this will be a two (2) year programme, with options to extend for up to a further two (2) years.
