    The appointed arts partner(s) will co-create high-quality arts intervention programmes in collaboration with attendees.

    38 sessions will run weekly. Each session will last 2 hours and take place on a regular day and time agreed by all attendees and partners, at an accessible venue.

    Patients will be referred for a maximum of 16 weeks. During this time, the artist will support participants to develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence to engage in community provision after completing HARP.

    Workshops will have a limited number of participants (exact number to be confirmed).

    At least two professional artists will support the delivery of each workshop.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
