Description

The Provision of a Community Wide Physical Activity Event/Game. Encompassing the concept, technology to track participants, a marketing campaign and data evaluation. Bury Council understands the magnitude of the health issues that our residents face and wants to encourage behaviour change so that our residents lead a more active lifestyle as a result of it. Our vision is to use an innovative concept which would turn the borough of Bury into an event/game whereby children and adults become more active by walking and cycling as part of it. The concept would see participants having access to technology that tracks their progress throughout, and competitions and prizes to be won as part of the event/game. The event is to be run during Spring/Summer 2016 with the possibility of repeating in Spring/Summer 2017. The Council is seeking tenders from suitable organisations to run the event/game.
