Summary of the contracting process

The NHS England is planning a procurement process entitled "Low Calorie Diet Expansion," focusing on health services within the UK. This initiative aims to expand the NHS Low Calorie Diet Programme, which has been delivering essential dietary support to those suffering from Type 2 diabetes. The planned procurement aligns with the NHS Long Term Plan's commitment to enhance service delivery, and potential providers can expect to engage in market sessions starting on 16 June 2021 to discuss the upcoming tender, indicative of a significant outreach intended to enlarge the programme's capacity to cater for an additional 5,000 service user places throughout various Integrated Care System sites. The overall value of this initiative is estimated at £8 million. This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in health services, dietetics, and community support services, making it particularly relevant for suppliers of diet replacement products, educational training services, and wellness programmes. Companies capable of delivering integrated, structured support that aids in behaviour change related to diet and weight management are likely to find a competitive edge. Engaging in this process could allow businesses to contribute to a pivotal public health initiative, thus fostering growth and enhancing visibility within the healthcare sector. Interested parties are encouraged to register for the virtual market information session to gain comprehensive insights and facilitate their participation in this valuable procurement opportunity.

Notice Title

Low Calorie Diet Expansion

Notice Description

This Prior Information Notice (PIN) relates to market engagement to support the expansion of the NHS Low Calorie Diet Programme which is currently being delivered by the NHS Diabetes Programme, a joint partnership between NHS England and NHS Improvement, Public Health England and Diabetes UK.NHS England wishes to notify potential providers about its intention to commence market engagement in advance of a potential commissioning process. The National programme relates to an NHS Long Term Plan commitment to pilot at scale in service delivery for citizens who are overweight / obese and recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, with the aim of delivering significant weight loss and achieving remission from their diabetes. The programme involves provision of total diet replacement products alongside a structured programme of support including support for food reintroduction and weight maintenance.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The programme, which is currently being piloted in 10 ICSs, has been developed in response to the findings of two research trials, DiRECT and DROPLET, which produced encouraging results for the impact of total diet replacement, delivered as part of a behaviour change intervention programme, on weight, HbA1c and in some cases remission of Type 2 diabetes.It is anticipated that the expansion of the programme will support the provision of an additional 5,000 service user places, by expanding the offer to further Integrated Care System (ICS) sites.A full evaluation will take place alongside the national programme to inform future commissioning decisions about the national provision of such interventions.Potential providers are encouraged to attend a market information session to hear more detail about current plans for the programme expansion, and to share insight to further inform these plans.The event is to be held virtually on Wednesday 16 June 2021, 10am - 12 noon, via Microsoft Teams. To receive further details of the event, please access the following link:http://health.atamis.co.uk. Once registered on the portal please access the 'NHS Low Calorie Diet Programme' project and complete the supplier Expression of Interest questionnaire within the project.For those suppliers who are unable to attend the session, a summary of key discussions will be made available to those who have registered upon request.
