## Summary

St Helens Council procured community health and wellbeing services under one programme covering 2026/27. Healthy Hearts provides six weekly, one-hour heart-health education sessions for Year 5 pupils in 20 primary schools, prioritising schools with the highest National Child Measurement Programme overweight and obesity levels. Building Foundations provides separate seven-week wellbeing programmes for 40 men and 40 women, delivered in communities identified through Real Time Surveillance data, with wellbeing measured before and after delivery using SWEMWBS. The provider also supports local Public Health priorities by using the stadium and promoting key health campaigns. The work is delivered in St Helens and is classified as health services. The selected provider is Saints Community Development Foundation, with St Helens Council as the buyer.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. St Helens Council used the Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process C, an award procedure without prior publication of a competition, for a repeated existing service. The contract was awarded to Saints Community Development Foundation, with one bid recorded. The contract value is £60,000 including the stated 12-month period, for delivery in 2026/27, and it was signed on 12 August 2026. Evaluation was based entirely on quality. The procurement record states that direct award was supported by service-continuity risks, patient access or choice considerations, provider performance, the number of credible providers, compliance with procurement principles and evidence supporting the chosen provider. The associated lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are active.

This requirement indicates demand from St Helens Council for an established community health provider able to deliver structured prevention and wellbeing programmes across schools and local communities. A credible future competitor would need experience in heart-health education for primary-age children, delivering repeated group sessions, and designing separate programmes for men and women. It would also need capacity to reach 20 schools and a combined cohort of 80 adults, work in communities selected using local health data, and collect reliable pre- and post-programme wellbeing evidence using SWEMWBS. Familiarity with Public Health priorities, health-promotion campaigns and using a stadium or comparable community venue would strengthen the offer. Because the recorded evaluation was entirely quality-based, service design, delivery capability, continuity, outcomes and evidence of performance would be central to competing when this requirement next reaches the market.

## Notice
