Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Havering is procuring a Weight Wellness and Activity Service: a comprehensive, community-based health programme to help residents achieve and maintain a healthy weight. The service takes a holistic approach covering nutrition, physical activity and mental wellbeing. It is a health service, classified under CPV 85100000, delivered for residents in Havering. The requirement is for one provider to design and deliver the programme rather than supply standalone goods or facilities. The buying organisation is London Borough of Havering, a sub-central public authority based in Romford. The opportunity is relevant to providers of community health, weight management, wellbeing, physical activity or related preventive services able to integrate these strands into a single resident-focused programme.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition under the competitive process in the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. DDM HEALTH LIMITED was awarded the single lot on 4 August 2026. The award is £385,535 excluding VAT and £462,642 including VAT. The contract period is 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions, giving a maximum extent to 31 August 2031. Four bids were received and one reached the final stage. Evaluation weighted value at 70%, quality and innovation at 10%, improving access at 8%, integration at 7% and social value at 5%. The lot was suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

This award confirms demand from London Borough of Havering for an integrated, community-based weight wellness service rather than a narrow single-discipline intervention. Suppliers considering future work of this type would need credible capability across nutrition, physical activity and mental wellbeing, with the ability to combine these into a coherent programme for local residents. Strong access arrangements and community reach would matter, reflecting the separate improving-access criterion. Evidence of quality, innovation, service integration and social value would be important, as these together accounted for 30% of evaluation. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so a smaller specialist provider or mission-led organisation with the necessary delivery capacity could be well placed. The competition attracted four bids, indicating interest in this service model.
