This programme falls under the category of other community, social, and personal services with a focus on holistic health and wellbeing support for eligible families. The procurement used an open procedure, ensuring transparency and accessibility for all interested parties.

The tender process began in early 2025, with submission deadlines concluding on 20 February 2025.

Organisations with expertise in behaviour change techniques and a focus on sustainable lifestyle changes are well-suited to compete in such tenders. The demand for comprehensive family support services that consider wider determinants of health opens avenues for growth and innovation within this market segment.

Companies with the ability to provide holistic and scalable service offerings can achieve substantial impact and establish robust partnerships with local authorities like the City of Doncaster Council.
