QU568 - Tier 2 Hearing Impaired Weight Management Service

Notice Description

Birmingham City Council ('the Council') Public Health is committed to tackling obesity and promoting healthy weight. The prevalence and disease burden resulting from excess weight is a major international public health concern. Almost two-thirds of adults in England are living with excess weight for their height (BMI >=25kg/m2), with similar figures in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Moreover, approximately one in six people in the UK have hearing loss (NHS England). The Council requires a supplier for the provision of a Tier 2 Weight Management service specifically designed to meet the needs of those residents who have hearing impairments. This contract will be for a period of 12 months commencing 1st May 2022 until 31st March 2023.

Again, this considers recommendation 2 of PH53, ensuring services cause no harm. o They will provide a personalised assessment and advice about diet and physical activity. All services must be provided by a nutritionist/behaviour change therapist/physical activity specialist wh...
