## Summary

The Falls (Strength and Balance Service) has been awarded by Attain on behalf of West Essex Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) to Epping Forest District Council. This procurement falls under the health services industry category and is located in Epping, East of England. The procurement process was initiated as a direct action, classifying it as a single tender action below the threshold. The contract period commenced on 1st April 2022 and will continue until 31st March 2023, with a contract value of £91,560. The tender period concluded on 28th February 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in health and rehabilitation services, particularly those with expertise in physiotherapy and falls prevention. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find themselves well positioned to compete for similar future tenders, especially those looking to expand their service offerings within the health sector in the region. Networking with local authorities such as Attain and Epping Forest District Council could further enhance business prospects in this field.

## Notice

The Falls (Strength and Balance Service) is commissioned using funding from the Better Care Fund from Essex County Council on their behalf. West Essex CCG commissioned Epping Forest District Council (EFDC) directly to deliver this service. The service delivers falls rehabilitation and physiotherapy services to the West Essex population and compliments the physiotherapy service which is still commissioned separately by West Essex CCG. A new 12-month contract is being awarded to Epping Forest District Council to continue delivery of the service whilst Essex County Council and West Essex CCG colleagues define and deliver the proposals for the new services from 1st April 2023. This will ensure continuity of services for our patient populations whilst that process takes place.
