Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has conducted a tender process for the provision of a "Tier 2 Healthy Weight Management Service," aimed at offering targeted community health services for adults, children, and families. The procurement process followed the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, notably bypassing the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This contract has been awarded to MAXIMUS UK SERVICES LIMITED without prior publication through a direct award procedure. The services will be provided from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029, with a total contract value of £927,000. The procurement involved specific criteria focusing on improving access, reducing health inequalities, and enhancing service integration and quality, which the selected provider successfully met.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in community health services, particularly those that can provide comprehensive weight management solutions tailored to diverse populations. Organisations capable of offering innovative, value-driven, and integrative community health programmes are well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. The opportunity could be particularly advantageous for established service providers in the healthcare sector, who can leverage their experience to meet the stringent evaluation criteria and address community health needs effectively.
