Healthy Worcestershire 2027

Worcestershire County Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for the "Healthy Worcestershire 2027" initiative, as part of their responsibilities under the Health and Social Care Act 2012. This project aims to offer an integrated community-based health improvement service across Worcestershire, focusing on physical activity, stop smoking support, and tailored nutrition and lifestyle advice. The process is classified under administrative healthcare and community health services, among others, and involves services that are part of the light touch regime.

The contract is planned to begin on 1st April 2027 and is scheduled to end on 31st March 2030, with a possibility of extension until 2032. Key interactions and market engagement are planned up to June 2026. The initiative targets delivery within the region of Worcestershire, UK (UKG12).

This procurement process offers significant opportunities for businesses in the health and wellness sectors, particularly those specialising in community health services, sports-related activities, and wellness consultancy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), are encouraged to participate, fostering diverse competition. The tender presents growth prospects for service providers equipped with the expertise to deliver comprehensive health improvement programmes, such as physical activity instructors, nutritionists, and health advisors.

Businesses capable of offering adaptable, community-focused health programmes, potentially utilising local community venues and employing a personalised wellness approach, would find this contract particularly advantageous.
