Essex County Council (ECC) is considering options for a Countywide Community Wellbeing and Resilience Service, tackling Health Inequalities at its heart. This service will deliver traditional health improvement programmes, including but not limited to, smoking cessation, weight management and NHS health checks.

This approach represents a move from traditional service delivery to community owned support options where appropriate. ECC invites prospective providers to attend a market engagement event on Thursday 30th January 2020. ECC will also offer providers an opportunity to attend 1:1 sessions with commissioning colleagues, Mid-January to Mid- February 2020.
