This initiative falls under the industry category of Health and Social Work Services (CPV code 85000000) and is set to commence on 1st April 2025, with an end date of 31st March 2030. The project, with a planned budget of £235,000, aims to recruit and train community Health Champions through a structured programme. The initial future notice date for this procurement is set for 1st October 2024, and it will follow an open procurement method, ideal for organisations below the threshold, including SMEs and VCSEs. The specific delivery address for this contract is in Romford, RM1 3BD. This tender offers numerous growth opportunities for businesses specialising in public health initiatives, training programmes and community engagement. Companies that can provide efficient training resources and ongoing support for community volunteers will find this contract particularly beneficial. It is an excellent opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) to collaborate with local government to improve health outcomes. Strong candidates for this procurement process would be businesses with experience in public health training, community mobilisation, and those with the capacity to foster partnerships with local organisations, leveraging their expertise to support LBH's goal of reducing health inequalities within Havering. ## Notice My Health Matters (MHM) is a community health initiative commissioned and funded by LBH that has been successfully delivered for ten years. The MHM team actively engages with the public at various events across the borough, discussing health-related topics and directing individuals to appropriate local services for further support and information. A key component of MHM is the recruitment and training of Health Champions from the community. This involves a free, one-day training course that culminates in a RSPH Level 2 accredited award in "Understanding Health Improvement." The training is available to anyone aged 18 or older who lives, works or volunteers in the borough and has an interest in health and wellbeing. Once qualified, Health Champions receive signposting materials and ongoing support, including monthly newsletters. Health Champions also have the opportunity to share ideas, give feedback and network with other health champions at a bi-monthly health forum. The aim of the bi-monthly forum is to engage existing and active Health Champions, labelled "Core Health Champions." These forums provide an opportunity for Core Champions to upskill their knowledge on public health priorities through health presentations from internal and external specialists, discussions and networking. The aims of the service are: * To empower members of the Havering community (those who live, study, work or volunteer) with up-to-date and accurate information about health and well-being. * To improve trust and engagement between authorities and the community. * To work collaboratively with the Havering Public Health Team, Voluntary Sector organisations, businesses within Havering and council-funded services to target residents to improve health outcomes. * To reduce health inequalities of adults within Havering The objectives of the service are to: * To target and recruit Health Champions with a strong community connection; that are representative of the community and have an interest in community health and well-being. * To support existing and newly trained Health Champions & Core Health Champions by providing robust up-to-date signposting information. * To hold bi-monthly health forums to engage and retain Core Health Champions with topics informed by Public Health priorities and input from health champions themselves. * To work in partnership with Havering's Voluntary Sector Organisations, local businesses, and council funded services to support the delivery of public health priorities and specified national/local campaigns and to reduce inequalities by targeting priority groups. * To gain quantitative and qualitative data evaluation of confidence levels of Health Champions prior to training and 1 year on. * To ensure that all newly recruited Community Health Champions & Health Champion Volunteers receive the required RSPH Level 2 Understanding Health Improvement. This is not an invitation to tender. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea0a6adc-c445-4a76-be49-a09f372a97dd | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Oct 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2025 - 31 Mar 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £235,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE LONDON BOROUGH OF HAVERING | | Locality | ROMFORD | | Post town | Romford | | Postcode | RM1 3BB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI5 Outer London - East and North East | | ITL 3 | TLI52 Barking & Dagenham and Havering | | Local authority | Havering | | Electoral ward | St Edward's | | Westminster constituency | Romford | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 29 Aug 2024 at 13:53 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea0a6adc-c445-4a76-be49-a09f372a97dd ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea0a6adc-c445-4a76-be49-a09f372a97dd 29th August 2024 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1cad1583-17a6-417e-9323-7c076052c896 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
