Description

The requirement is to commission a community-based physical activity service that provides free, inclusive and accessible sports and movement sessions specifically for adults (17+) experiencing mental ill-health, including those with low mood, social isolation, anxiety, depression or severe mental illness. The intended benefit is to strengthen early-intervention, non-clinical mental health support in the community, improve physical and mental wellbeing outcomes, and reduce pressure on statutory services through preventative, place-based support. Accordingly, the contract sought is a multi-year commissioning arrangement for the delivery of a structured programme of weekly physical activity sessions across Bracknell Forest, open to all eligible residents, and procured through an open and competitive process, not tailored to any specific provider.
