What is being bought

Published requirement description

Walsall Council ("the Council") invites Competitive Tender Responses, for the provision of a Strength and Balance Service.

The aim of this service is to support older adults and individuals at increased risk of falls, frailty and loss of independence. The service will provide targeted preventative health interventions to improve strength, balance, mobility and functional ability, reduce the risk of falls and associated injuries, promote healthy ageing, and enable individuals to maintain their independence for as long as possible. Through early identification and intervention, the service will also help to prevent avoidable deterioration, reduce demand on health and social care services, and support people to remain healthy, active and independent within their communities.

Participants should note that this Competitive Tender Process falls under the Provider Selection Regime as set out in Part 2; Regulations 6(7) and 11 of the Health and Social Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.
