## Summary

East Sussex County Council has awarded a contract titled "Active Partnership for Eastbourne and Lewes," aimed at improving health and wellbeing by increasing access to physical activity interventions. The contract, classified under Health and Social Work Services, has been modified to extend its scope to include the Wealden area.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for organisations specialising in health and social work services, particularly those capable of enhancing community development through physical activity. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete in this space given the focus on local service provision and community engagement. Thrive Tribe Limited, an SME, has already been actively engaged as the supplier, indicating a favourable environment for similar enterprises to leverage their expertise in the physical activity and health sector to expand their reach and impact.
