## Summary

The Kent County Council has awarded a contract for "Public Health Community Conversations" to Leading Communities Ltd. The procurement process used a limited competitive quotation method, with a contract value of £34,300. The contract period is from 1st September 2022 to 1st December 2022, targeting market research services in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender by the Kent County Council presents business growth opportunities particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. Businesses involved in market research services and community engagement would be well-suited to compete for this contract, with a focus on enhancing public health outcomes in Kent through detailed conversations with the community.

## Notice

The health of the people of Kent is not improving at the rate we would want it to and on some areas we are seeing a real or a relative deterioration in health outcomes. To address these challenges the Kent Public Health division are working across the wider system to develop a system wide Public Health Strategy that will focus on the wider determinants of health. One key element of this will be engagement with people in Kent. This will include a population survey, work with vulnerable groups led by Healthwatch and a third element that includes detailed conversations with people in the community to best understand the challenges and issues they face. We would wish these conversations to be between these residents and the senior leadership within the system partners including the County, Districts and NHS. It is this third element ONLY that is the subject of this award. Work has already commenced in identifying and starting to secure buy in for the system leaders who will be engaging in these conversations.
