Falls Management Exercise programme

NHS Devon Integrated Care Board has concluded a procurement process for a Falls Management Exercise programme targeting residents aged 55 and over in North Devon. The programme aims to prevent falls among individuals identified at high risk in this demographic. The contract was awarded on December 2, 2025, in the region of Exeter, UKK43, with NHS Devon acting as the buyer.

The procurement was carried out through a direct method, classified under a light touch special regime, specifically aimed at rehabilitation services. The contract period starts on December 2, 2025, and will end on June 30, 2026, with a gross value of £20,000. This award marks the completion stage of the procurement process and was executed below the threshold without competition.

The Falls Management Exercise programme presents opportunities for businesses specialising in health and rehabilitation services to engage with public sector contracts, particularly those addressing health and well-being sectors. Vista Wellbeing CIC, a small to medium enterprise (SME) and volunteer community social enterprise (VCSE), successfully secured the contract, indicating opportunities for similar scaled organisations with expertise in community health programmes. Businesses looking to expand their offerings into public health and rehabilitation services will find this type of contract particularly beneficial for growth, providing an avenue to develop specialised services and strengthen partnerships with public authorities like NHS Devon.
