Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council has appointed a provider for an integrated healthy lifestyles service across North Northamptonshire. The service is intended to help adults make lasting changes to preventable health risks and reduce health inequalities. Its focus includes physical activity, diet and excess weight, strength and balance to prevent falls, and identifying people at increased risk of long-term conditions. Delivery combines three strands: public health campaigns and digital self-help; health coaching to support behaviour change; and structured community interventions, including falls prevention, enhanced behaviour-change support and targeted NHS Health Checks in workplaces and particular communities. A central triage function is part of the service, to improve access and referrals. The provider may use subcontractors to support delivery.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. MoreLife (UK) Ltd was selected on 25 September 2026; the award is recorded as pending, and contract signature was scheduled for 16 October 2026. The awarded value is £6.3 million excluding VAT (£7.56 million including VAT). The contract is due to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with two optional 24-month extensions, potentially extending to 31 March 2036. There was one lot, assessed on quality: written quality submission counted for 70%, and presentation and interview for 30%. Fifteen bids were recorded, including twelve from SMEs and one from a voluntary, community or social enterprise. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs and such organisations.

This award demonstrates demand from North Northamptonshire Council for a joined-up, adult healthy-lifestyles service spanning prevention, behaviour change and targeted treatment. A credible competitor would need to coordinate a broad offer rather than provide a single intervention: digital and campaign-based self-help, health coaching, falls-prevention support and targeted NHS Health Checks, backed by effective triage and referral pathways. The service also calls for delivery across communities and workplaces, with an explicit emphasis on reaching people at increased risk and reducing inequalities. The Council permitted subcontracting, so providers able to assemble and manage specialist delivery partners may be well placed. The competition attracted a substantial field, mostly SMEs; smaller suppliers and voluntary or community organisations were considered suitable for the lot. Evidence of service integration, quality and the ability to deliver at community-wide scale would therefore be relevant.
