This procurement process is at the tender stage and invites quotations from interested suppliers, with a submission deadline set for 13:00 hours on 27th July 2018. The service is to be delivered at the council's location in the West Midlands, with contract commencement scheduled for 3rd September 2018, extending until 31st March 2019. The procurement method employed is an open procedure below threshold, encouraging participation from a wide range of suppliers. This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in educational and training services, particularly those focused on health and wellbeing. Companies capable of delivering mindfulness training — whether through online platforms or face-to-face sessions — would stand to gain from engaging in this initiative. The accessible nature of the training program and the positive feedback from prior participants indicate a growing demand, positioning interested entities for significant business growth in the public sector. ## Notice An introductory Mindfulness programme was operated for Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council (SMBC) employees during 2017-18. This specification identifies a second phase of development to commence delivery in September 2018. The specified programme will encompass a broadened and fully integrated delivery pathway which enables employees to access mindfulness training online via a 'self-help' route (with support) or via scheduled 'face to face' group sessions. Public Health has worked previously with colleagues in Learning & Development to establish and pilot the first phase of mindfulness group sessions offered to the SMBC workforce, commencing in 2017-18. Employees were offered 'tasters' and 4 cohorts subsequently followed a Mindfulness Training Programme. Positive participant feedback from the programme highlighted the benefits of mindfulness and commitment to continuing the practice.
