The service aims to improve access to physical activity for residents aged 55 and over across North Somerset, particularly in areas with a higher population of older individuals. The procurement was awarded directly, without competition, to Age UK Somerset, a large VCSE organisation.
The contract, valued at £59,197.80 and effective from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028, was formalised on 10th March 2025. Services will be primarily delivered within the region of UKK12, encompassing North Somerset. This tender presents notable opportunities for organisations specialising in community health services, particularly those experienced in engaging older adults in physical activities.
Businesses capable of offering specialized classes and initiatives that enhance physical strength and balance will be well-suited to similar opportunities. Additionally, for organisations interested in expanding their services to older demographics in specific communities or enhancing partnerships within the health service sector, this contract exemplifies a strategy for growth through dedicated, localised service provision.
To provide a service that improves access and uptake of physical activity opportunities amongst North Somerset residents aged 55 and over. The principle objectives to achieve the above are to:
- Offer specialised physical activity classes for inactive older people aged 55 and over across North Somerset, activities should provide moderate physical activity and help to improve muscle strength (improve balance and co-ordination).
- Increase physical activity levels of participants (aged 55 and above)
- Focus provision in areas with a higher population of older people
- Focus provision to target the most inactive age ranges (those age 75 and above) by linking with the falls service, community connect, sheltered housing schemes and other venues where older people meet such as lunch clubs, day centres. Local contacts can be shared with the provider.
- Contribute to an increase in the volunteer workforce in North Somerset which will also support the sustainability of provision.
