There will be a national procurement for a framework of up to 5 providers with call-off contracts being awarded on an Integrated Care System (ICS) footprint, with a phased roll-out across England in 2023/24.

Providers will be expected to develop their own relationships to ensure that they are able to offer the choice of delivery channels to individuals, as well as products and equipment as required within the service specification (including Total Diet Replacement (TDR) products that comply with all applicable legislative requirements and standards and equipment for monitoring weight, blood pressure and blood glucose), ensuring that the delivery channels are delivered through a single provider organisation, even where more than one organisation is involved such as a Lead Provider and sub-contractor arrangement. These relationships and the processes supporting them, will need to be clearly detailed in the bidding process.
