## Summary

St Helens Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process for the delivery of exercise to music classes across its 'Go Active' Leisure Centres. This preliminary market engagement is intended to explore future delivery options as the current contract is nearing its end. The initiative, classified under recreational, cultural, and sporting services, is open for market engagement until 9th July 2026, with anticipated procurement communications planned for 20th July 2026. Situated in the United Kingdom, the project, identified as DN820322, underscores the council's commitment to involving competent suppliers in a soft market testing exercise rather than a formal tender at this time.

This project offers an opportunity for businesses experienced in recreational and cultural services, particularly those specialising in community-focused classes, to showcase their capabilities and potentially secure future contracts with the council. It is especially suited for SMEs looking to expand their service offerings in the public sector. Engaging in this market opportunity allows businesses to align their services with the council’s needs, fostering potential growth and collaboration within the local community services sector.

## Notice

St Helens Council currently delivers a programme of exercise to music classes across its 'Go Active' Leisure Centres through an external provider. With the current contract coming to an end, the Council is exploring future delivery options. Ahead of any formal procurement process, we are seeking to engage with the market to better understand the capability, experience and capacity of Suppliers in being able to meet the requirements detailed in the attached 'Schedule of Exercise Classes. This is a soft market testing exercise only. It is not a tender and will not result in a contract being awarded
