Ethnic Minority Health and Wellbeing Services
AI Summary
Wirral Council is procuring community‑based services to enhance health and wellbeing for ethnic minority and refugee populations across the borough. The procurement is divided into four distinct lots, each targeting a different aspect of inclusive support: understanding and addressing the needs of asylum seekers and refugees; engaging ethnic minority communities through outreach; delivering culturally responsive prevention and early‑intervention programmes; and strengthening workforce capacity in cultural competence. The overarching objective is to improve accessibility, inclusion, and outcomes for service users while reducing health inequalities through trusted community settings and coordinated referral pathways.
Lot 1 focuses on a targeted, person‑centred model for asylum seekers and refugees, aiming to identify wider determinants of health and provide coordinated support. Lot 2 is designed to increase awareness of available services and opportunities through sustained outreach, emphasizing prevention and early identification of unmet need. Lot 3 delivers a culturally responsive integrated programme that promotes health literacy, community capacity and equitable outcomes, and Lot 4 offers cultural awareness, learning and workforce development activities to build organisational competence and reduce barriers to access. Each contract includes a renewal option after an initial two‑year period, reflecting an ongoing commitment to sustained service provision.
These services must be delivered through culturally responsive, community‑based approaches that leverage trusted settings and local networks while ensuring prevention, early intervention and health promotion activities are systematically integrated.
