Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS England is conducting an open procurement process to select up to 10 providers for its Low Calorie Diets Programme, targeting health services in the UK. The tender, published on 9th December 2019, aims to pilot the use of Total Diet Replacement (TDR) products for individuals with Type 2 diabetes and will run from 1st April 2020 to 31st May 2023. Interested organisations must submit their proposals by 15th January 2020, and the total budget for this initiative is set at £5,000,000.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in health services or nutritional support. Providers can enhance their market presence by engaging with the NHS and potentially expanding their clientele through the implementation of evidence-based interventions for diabetes management. Businesses with experience in dietary programmes and support services, particularly in face-to-face or digital formats, would be well-positioned to compete effectively for this contract.
