Summary of the contracting process

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board is procuring a Level 3 digital weight management service. This is a health service intended to provide structured weight management support through digital delivery. The requirement is managed through NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, acting as the central purchasing body. Delivery covers two areas of Wales represented in the procurement information, within the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board area. The requirement is classified as health services (CPV 85100000). It is a single service requirement rather than a package of separate goods or construction works. The selected provider is a specialist digital health supplier, indicating that the work centres on delivering an established digital weight management offer rather than supplying general healthcare products.

The procurement has reached the award stage. It used a selective competitive procedure with negotiation under the Wales procurement regulations for health services. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, but an active award and active contract are recorded for the requirement. DDM HEALTH LIMITED was selected, with two bids received, both from SMEs and both submitted electronically. Evaluation was based entirely on quality, with no price weighting. The recorded contract value is £107,100 including the contract award and contract record. The contract was signed on 19 January 2026 and runs from 16 February 2026 to 15 February 2027. An intention-to-award notice started an eight-working-day standstill, stated to conclude at midnight on 29 January.

This procurement demonstrates demand for digitally delivered, Level 3 weight management support within NHS Wales and shows that the requirement can be contested through a selective competitive procedure with negotiation. A credible future competitor would need a proven digital health service able to deliver structured weight management at the required clinical and operational level, with clear evidence of service quality. The evaluation gives quality decisive importance, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate outcomes, safety, user support, accessibility and reliable digital delivery rather than relying on a low-price offer. Two SME bids were received, showing that the requirement is accessible to smaller specialist providers. Experience working with NHS or comparable health systems, robust governance and sufficient delivery capacity would strengthen a future offer.
