This initiative is focused on providing tailored support for Bracknell Forest residents aged 65 and over, aiming to prevent falls through trained assessments and community-based support. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, and the contract period is set to commence on 13th July 2016 and run until 12th July 2018. The tender closing date was 8th February 2016. This project falls under the health services industry, specifically relating to miscellaneous health and social work services, and services will be delivered in the South East of England. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in health services, social work, and community support programmes aimed at the elderly. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to consider participation, as the suitability criteria explicitly welcome such organisations. Companies capable of providing expertise in falls prevention and strength and balance programmes would be particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract, ultimately fostering growth in the health and social care sector. ## Notice Bracknell Forest Public Health is looking to commission one provider to provide a Falls Prevention Advisory Service.
