## Summary

The procurement process for the "Lifestyle Hub Services" contract, led by Bedford Borough Council, is now complete. Classified under the "Health and social work services" industry category, this contract focuses on the UKH24 region in the United Kingdom. Originally initiated without a competitive tender process, the direct procurement method was employed to extend an existing contract for an additional 12 months, providing an overlap period for the newly launched Choose You service to integrate and manage increased referrals. The contract commenced on 25 September 2025 and is set to conclude on 11 November 2026, with a signed date of 24 September 2025 and an overall contract value of £105,147.60.

This tender presented significant opportunities for businesses within the health and social services sector, particularly those capable of providing integrated local health coaching and behaviour change services. Large organisations with existing capabilities in managing public health services extensions, such as the awarded supplier Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust Foundation, were well-positioned to benefit. The direct procurement approach minimises competition barriers, offering significant growth avenues for businesses aligned with public sector health initiatives, and highlights openings for similar organisations in future contract opportunities with sub-central government entities.

## Notice

Waiver - Product Reasons - No tender process is proposed as the 12-month extension forms part of the decommissioning process. There is an opportunity to streamline the local health coaching and behaviour change service offer with the Public Health Choose You service that was launched in April 2025. The extension period to the current Lifestyle Hub contract will provide time for the Choose You service to become established and be able to manage the additional referrals.
