This initiative falls under the health training services category and entails a contract period from 15th May 2017 to 14th November 2019, with an estimated contract value of £500,000. The tender is currently open, and proposals must be submitted by 13th April 2017. This open procurement process is intended to support the development of community-based exercise programmes to reduce the incidence of falls among the elderly population. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations to engage in public health initiatives. Businesses with expertise in health training, community engagement, or developing exercise programmes tailored for older individuals would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this project not only provides a channel for revenue but also contributes to the community's well-being by reducing fall-related injuries among vulnerable populations in Shropshire. ## Notice Shropshire Council's Public Health is seeking to commission the delivery of a two and half year Community Postural Stability Instruction Pilot programme as part of a whole system approach to falls prevention across the local health economy to commence in Spring 2017. This will test and develop an effective sustainable model for the delivery of a single community-based postural stability programme to reduce the impact of falls and falls- related injuries. The provider will work in collaboration to: *Create a cohort of independent exercise providers, qualified to deliver Postural Stability exercise as part of the local falls prevention infrastructure. *Establish a delivery model for evidence-based community based exercise postural stability classes, enabling older people to be referred from local health services *Deliver a two year programme of evidence-based falls prevention postural stability classes in key community locations across Shropshire It is estimated that around 19,000 older people will fall in Shropshire each year and that around 3,800 of those will have injurious falls. One third of people aged over 60, and half of those aged over 80, are likely to fall at least once a year. The consequences can be life changing and life threatening - around 30% of older people who sustain a hip fracture die within a year. Falls are not, however, an inevitable part of ageing. Falls prevention work seeks to prevent the first fall, prevent the next fall, prevent an injurious fall and reduce the severity of injuries from fall. Falls Prevention is a key work programme for Shropshire's Better Care Fund, Shropshire HWB Prevention Programmes, and the Community Fit Clinical Pathway for falls, fractures and frailty. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/15bbfc2f-3d60-48d5-a203-dc221ca9e2c7 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Mar 2017 | | Submission deadline | 13 Apr 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 14 May 2017 - 14 Nov 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | 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 | SHROPSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | SHREWSBURY | | Post town | Shrewsbury | | Postcode | SY2 6ND | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG2 Shropshire and Staffordshire | | ITL 3 | TLG22 Shropshire | | Local authority | Shropshire | | Electoral ward | Abbey | | Westminster constituency | Shrewsbury | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80561000 - Health training services ## Release History - 17 Mar 2017 at 14:36 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/15bbfc2f-3d60-48d5-a203-dc221ca9e2c7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/15bbfc2f-3d60-48d5-a203-dc221ca9e2c7 17th March 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Shrewsbury:-POCV-007---Community-Postural-Stability-Instruction-Pilot-Programme/ER8THXHPU6 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
