Summary of the contracting process

The Worcestershire County Council has completed the award process for the "Fit for Life - Men's Health Programme," which was designed to address the low engagement of men in local weight management initiatives. The contract, valued at £257,066, has been awarded to ICAREIMOVE LIMITED and aims to provide tailored health services to support men's weight loss and healthy lifestyle changes. The programme is a service-oriented contract that falls under the health services category, specifically targeting adult men in Worcestershire. The procurement method utilised was open competition, and the contract is set to commence on 13th April 2026 and will run until 12th April 2028, with the option to extend based on provider performance and funding availability.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with experience in community engagement and weight management. As the programme seeks to increase male participation and offer both in-person and online support, businesses adept in delivering flexible and culturally competent health interventions are well-suited to compete. Particularly, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will find this tender appealing, as it aligns with the procurement’s emphasis on social value and quality alongside price. This initiative supports not only business growth but also addresses critical public health needs, providing a platform for businesses to make impactful contributions to the community's well-being.

Notice Title

Fit for Life - Men's Health Programme

Notice Description

In Worcestershire, supporting adults to have a healthy lifestyle remains a public health Priority. Around 67% of adults in Worcestershire are classified as overweight or obese. Despite men being more likely than women to be overweight nationally (69.7% compared to 59.2%), uptake of local weight management programmes among men is disproportionately low, estimated at just 12% of participants. This highlights a significant gap in engagement and accessibility, as men often face cultural, social, and practical barriers to joining traditional programmes. The consequences are serious: excess weight substantially increases the risk of long-term conditions such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers, underscoring the urgent need for more tailored, male-focused interventions to address these inequalities. By embedding weight management within a sports setting, programmes overcome cultural and psychological barriers, making them more appealing and sustainable for men compared to clinical or classroom-style interventions. Fit for Life will: * Promote and support weight loss, or prevent further excess weight gain, primarily among individuals living with overweight or obesity * Support achievement of the CMO's physical activity recommendations and a reduction in sedentary behaviour. * Support service users to develop healthier eating habits and learn about healthy balanced meals. * Provide a flexible, user led programme that is individualised, culturally competent and inclusive. * Support service users to adopt and maintain healthy lifestyle and behavioural changes, including improved diet and increased physical activity to achieve sustainable weight loss. * Help service users develop strategies and self-regulatory skills to overcome challenges, achieve their weight related goals and maintain a healthier body weight over the long term.
