Interest is sought from suitably qualified and experienced organisations to provide these services across the whole county of Gloucestershire.
Our vision for Gloucestershire’s Healthy Lifestyles Service is for a flexible and responsive Service that supports Customers to make sustainable changes in behaviour. There should be a clear offer, easily understood and navigated by both professionals and the public, accessible via a single point of access. The emphasis will be on enabling people to self-care where possible, but with options for enhanced support for those who most need it. The quality of the Customer experience (both public and professional) together with the ability of the Provider to engage effectively with Customers whose needs are greatest is paramount to the success of this Service and its role as a system enabler. We are looking to work with a Provider that shares our ambition and can develop a responsive healthy lifestyles offer to meet the needs of Gloucestershire residents.
The Provider will be expected to support wider objectives prioritised by Gloucestershire County Council. The Council expects this contract to be flexible and responsive to local needs and to continue to develop and innovate over the contract term.
