Tender 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.

About the buyer
Bracknell Forest Council is a unitary local authority in Berkshire that buys across several service areas. Below that threshold, quotation exercises invite bids from at least three suppliers. Bids are judged on price alongside quality and whole life cost. Social care, building maintenance and IT each keep separate procurement contacts.
Works contracts often draw on Constructionline, a national supplier database. Framework agreements let the council run further competition instead of a full tender.
Over the past 5 years, most of Bracknell Forest Council's contract awards have been in health and social work, construction work and IT services.
