## Summary

The Carlisle Employability and Workplace Health tender is initiated by Cumbria County Council and focuses on the social work sector, specifically addressing public health priorities in Carlisle District. The procurement is currently active and follows an open procedure method, with a total value of £50,000. The tender period concludes on 2nd October 2017, while the intended contract duration will span from 1st November 2017 to 31st March 2018. The service aims to tackle health inequalities through fair employment strategies and is expected to benefit the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in social work and related services. Businesses that can innovate or enhance employability initiatives and workplace health strategies will be well-positioned to compete, potentially leading to growth in a sector that emphasizes the connection between employee health and productivity. Engaging in such contracts not only contributes to community well-being but also aligns with business growth objectives through public sector partnerships.

## Notice

One of the key public health priorities agreed for Carlisle District is tackling health inequalities via the creation of fair employment, increasing employment levels, and reduction of absenteeism. The Council has adopted a partnership approach with Carlisle City Council and Carlisle Healthy City Steering Group. Through further engagement with a wide range of other stakeholders the partnership has agreed to progress plans for a) getting people into work, and b) supporting people in work. Health and work is an important public health issue and evidence shows that healthier, active and engaged employees are more productive, and have lower levels of sickness absence and presenteeism, creating a business imperative to take action as well as a public health one. Workplaces are therefore a key setting for engaging adults in activities that will improve their health and wellbeing and contribute to business productivity. Cumbria County Council (the Council) is commissioning a Carlisle Employability and Workplace Health Service from 1st November 2017 to 31st March 2018.
