Description
To commission a provider who will contribute to Sandwell's long-term goals of improving physical and mental well-being and reducing health inequalities associated with physical inactivity. This initiative aims to build upon existing cycling interventions, enhance the current availability of accessible cycling in Sandwell, and address known barriers to maintaining long-term physical activity.
To align Sandwell with national physical activity averages, approximately 24,000 residents need to become more active. This provision aims to facilitate Sandwell's progress towards these benchmarks by offering accessible opportunities to increase physical activity through cycling. The objectives detailed in the specification will enable the delivery of a range of accessible and inclusive cycling sessions and interventions, thereby fostering increased physical activity among the residents of Sandwell.
Therefore, it is imperative to implement a comprehensive, high-quality, and cost-effective adaptive cycling programme across the six towns of Sandwell. This programme will employ adapted cycling equipment, thereby providing enjoyable and flexible cycling opportunities for individuals of all ages and abilities. The primary objective of this initiative is to promote physical activity through cycling and to inspire individuals to embark on or advance their personal cycling journeys. The allocated funding will facilitate a series of sessions conducted in green spaces, parks, and other designated venues throughout the six Sandwell towns, thereby offering residents the opportunity to build confidence and access cycling within the borough.
