## Summary

The Cornwall Marine Network Limited is currently seeking proposals for the "Provision of Blue Health Activities in Falmouth / Penryn (Cornwall) for unemployed and inactive individuals." This procurement falls under the recreational, cultural, and sporting services industry category and is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method is selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period closing on 3rd March 2022. Following the submission deadline, the contract is set to commence on 14th March 2022 and will run until 31st August 2023.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for local freelancers, charities, and services that focus on mental health, wellbeing, and community engagement. Businesses with expertise in delivering recreational activities, particularly those that can facilitate blue health interventions, are ideally suited to participate. By engaging with this tender, successful providers can not only contribute to community development but also expand their networks and services within the growing marine-related health and wellness sector.

## Notice

CMN has secured project funding through the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF), known locally as the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Growth Programme, from the European Union's European Social Fund for a project named Future Peninsula 3 (FP3) - Communities Working Together. This partnership project, running until end of August 2023, will see CMN establish strong local partnerships to address issues of social inequality and worklessness as part of wider strategies for place-based regeneration. CMN will work with local user-led organisations and local communities and individuals to co-design a range of local approaches and interventions to improve mental health and wellbeing and access to employment, with the aim to address the needs of individuals who face multiple barriers to employment including mental and physical ill health and disabilities, history of economic inactivity, carer responsibilities, difficult family relationships, etc. To this aim, CMN is looking to deliver a programme of regular blue health interventions taking place in the Falmouth / Penryn area (Cornwall) over the next 2 years, working with freelancers and local charities and companies to offer a wide range of easily accessible activities, all contributing to improving the connection between local communities and the sea. Blue Health refers to the therapeutic benefits of spending time in or by blue spaces including the sea, rivers, waterfront parks, harbours and marinas. Significantly, existing research highlights a positive impact on mental health and wellbeing, including greater connectedness with nature, with greater benefits when time spent in the outdoors is combined with social interactions. CMN aims to harness these benefits to decrease participants' anxiety, improve their confidence, health and well-being, as well as their knowledge of the breadth of economic, volunteering and recreational opportunities available in the local marine sector. Eligible project participants will be aged 18 to 65 and will be unemployed or economically inactive. About this Tender In order to effectively respond to the needs to project participants and offer them the opportunity to try out a wide range of blue health interventions, a framework of suitably qualified freelancers, charities and businesses is being set up. This tender document outlines the areas of delivery that are required and CMN is encouraging relevant local freelancers and organisations to submit proposals to be considered for inclusion on the framework. The intention is for this framework to offer a wide range of blue health activities. It will therefore be reviewed every 6 months, and when felt appropriate will be opened to new providers to apply to join. The intention is that CMN will identify the project participants. However, successful providers will be invited to actively promote their delivery as part of the project and refer eligible participants to CMN.
