Healthy Weight in Childhood Initiatives Framework

Hull City Council is currently in the tender phase for the "Healthy Weight in Childhood Initiatives Framework," focusing on the provision of community health and social work services. The procurement process is classified under the light touch regime and utilises an open competition method. The initiative is planned to commence on 1st April 2026, with a contract period ending on 31st March 2030, and potential extensions of up to three additional 12-month periods.

The total annual value of services from this framework is estimated at £75,000, although this figure is indicative. The procurement is ongoing, with the deadline for tender submissions set for 13th February 2030. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) interested in contributing to community health initiatives.

Suitable businesses for this framework may include those specialising in physical activity and nutrition-related services, reflecting the scope of the two active lots under this framework. Participating in this procurement process allows these enterprises to provide valuable services, expand their portfolio, and strengthen their partnerships with local government bodies like Hull City Council. The open competition under the procurement method encourages diverse participation, fostering business growth and innovation in health service delivery.
