## Summary

The procurement process for the "Mental Health and Physical Activity Community Support Service," led by West Northamptonshire Council, has successfully progressed through the Tender and Award stages. The contract aims to provide services supporting adults facing mental health challenges by promoting physical activity to enhance wellbeing and reduce social isolation. This community-centric project targets regions in the UK, specifically within the UKF24 area, which encompasses Northampton. Notably, the procurement process employed an open competition method classified under "Below threshold - open competition" and concluded with the award of the contract dated 3rd June 2026. The contract, valued at GBP 128,000, will run until 17th May 2028, reflecting the emphasis on long-term community health improvements within the services category.

This tender provides a unique opportunity for businesses, especially those operating within community health services, to engage in collaborative efforts with local partners and governmental bodies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as larger organisations, can leverage this chance to expand their footprint within public sector health initiatives. Companies focused on health, wellbeing, and community engagement are best positioned to compete, benefiting from the broad, inclusive nature of the project and its focus on health inequalities. The involvement in such projects can bolster a company's reputation, create new business opportunities, and contribute significantly to local community development, positioning it as a pivotal participant in public health advancement.

## Notice

The service supports adults (aged 18 and over) experiencing mental health challenges to increase their levels of physical activity, improve wellbeing, and reduce social isolation. The project will adopt a community-based, preventative approach, connecting individuals to local physical activity opportunities and providing tailored support, including peer and volunteer-led initiatives. The provider is responsible for designing and delivering an inclusive and accessible programme that engages priority groups, particularly those experiencing health inequalities. The service works collaboratively with local partners, including primary care, community organisations, and voluntary sector providers, to establish effective referral pathways and maximise participation.
