This initiative aims to develop a falls prevention pathway and will be executed within the Edinburgh region, identified by CPV code 85323000, which pertains to community health services. The procurement followed a limited procedure method, characterised by a direct award facilitated through the publication of a Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency (VEAT) Notice on 9 July 2025. The contract was awarded to Edinburgh Leisure and signed on 28 August 2025, marking the transition into the active stage of procurement with a total value of £500,000 GBP. This tender provides significant prospects for business growth, especially for those involved in community health services. The opportunity is particularly suitable for businesses that specialise in health and social care services, as it supports the delivery and evaluation of community-based programmes. Given the framework of the light touch procurement regime, organisations already possessing experience in community health services delivery or looking to extend their portfolio in public health initiatives could benefit substantially. The focus on collaboration and ongoing evaluation offers potential for innovation in healthcare strategies and contributes to longer-term commissioning for service providers. ## Notice Ongoing delivery and collaborative evaluation of a programme of strength and balance classes to contribute to falls prevention pathway development. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Award of a short term contract by the Edinburgh Health & Social Care Partnership (EHSCP), to enable the continuation and evaluation of a previously grant funded service for the purposes of informing the future longer-term commissioning strategy.
