What the notice says

St Helens Council currently delivers a programme of exercise to music classes across its 'Go Active' Leisure Centres through an external provider. With the current contract coming to an end, the Council is exploring future delivery options. Ahead of any formal procurement process, we are seeking to engage with the market to better understand the capability, experience and capacity of Suppliers in being able to meet the requirements detailed in the attached 'Schedule of Exercise Classes. This is a soft market testing exercise only. It is not a tender and will not result in a contract being awarded
