Central Area Council Age UK Healthier Communities Grant

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council has awarded the "Central Area Council Age UK Healthier Communities Grant" under the Health and Social Work Services industry category. This initiative aims to enhance the health and well-being of residents within the Central Area Council of Barnsley, supporting projects aligned with Barnsley Council's 2030 vision. The direct award procurement method was used, and the contract, valued at £120,000, has been awarded to Age UK Barnsley.

This award was made on 28 January 2025, with the contract period starting on 1 April 2025 and ending on 31 March 2028. The service will be delivered in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those focusing on community health initiatives.

Businesses that align with the values of fostering healthier lifestyles within communities are well-suited for this type of grant. Although this tender was awarded through a direct procurement method, future similar opportunities could provide valuable leads for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their impact in the social and health services sector.
