UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS South West London Integrated Care Board is conducting a pre-market engagement process titled "SWL - South Croydon Weight Management & Wellbeing Pre Market Engagement." This process is part of the planning stage for a service aimed at providing targeted weight management and wellbeing services to high-risk communities in South Croydon. Key areas of focus will include weight management for adults at cardiometabolic risk, support for unpaid carers, and initiatives to combat loneliness in older residents. This planning update reflects the service's intent to align with public health goals across different localities in South Croydon. Interested parties are required to submit their responses via an online form by 11 May 2026. The engagement does not specify physical locations or events, as participation is entirely online.

This initiative presents an attractive opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those experienced in delivering tailored interventions for obesity management, carer support, and social connection enhancements. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) in the health sector are well-suited to compete, especially if they can demonstrate capability in structured behavioural interventions and collaboration with primary care and local health services. The annual financial envelope for this service is approximately £169,430, and successful providers will be expected to achieve measurable outcomes such as weight loss and improved wellbeing. Participants in this engagement process will help shape the service's future procurement strategy and ensure their solutions contribute to the broader health improvement agenda in Croydon.

Notice Information

Notice Title

SWL - South Croydon Weight Management & Wellbeing Pre Market Engagement

Notice Description

The Provision of NHS high risk communities targeted weight management and wellbeing behaviours service in South Croydon on behalf of NHS South West London Integrated Care Board DISCLAIMERS Organisations considering whether to respond to this information request should note the following: * NHS South West London Integrated Care Board (the ICB) is still finalising its decision in regard to future service provision and is inviting pre-market engagement to seek the views and opinions of those organisations that may be interested in becoming involved in delivering this future service. * This Pre-Market Engagement Questionnaire (PMEQ), and any subsequent information provided in response to it, does not form an integral part of any potential future procurement exercise and should be considered as an attempt by the ICB to engage with the potential market for delivering future services; * This PMEQ, the accompanying information and the responses received arising from it are in no way legally binding on any party; * Participation in the engagement exercise is not a mandatory requirement for participating in any potential future procurement; however, responses received will assist in informing the ICB as to the level of interest from the market and will be used to evidence a decision as to whether or not to undertake a competitive procurement. CONFIRMATION OF YOUR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST IS THEREFORE IMPORTANT. * Any responses and information that are shared through this pre-market engagement exercise may be used by the ICB to inform commissioning and potential procurement strategies. SERVICE SUMMARY NHS South West London Integrated Care Board (SWL ICB) is undertaking pre-market engagement to inform the potential commissioning of a South Croydon Targeted Weight Management and Wellbeing Behaviours Service. The proposed service comprises three locality-focused prevention programmes designed to address the differing population health needs within South Croydon: * Targeted Weight Management Prevention & Empowerment (South East Croydon) - supporting adults at elevated cardiometabolic risk to achieve sustainable behaviour change and clinically meaningful weight loss. * Carer Strain Support Prevention & Empowerment (South West Croydon) - providing targeted support to unpaid carers experiencing high levels of caring strain. * Loneliness & Social Connection Prevention & Empowerment (South West Croydon) - supporting older residents experiencing significant loneliness or social isolation. The service design reflects differing population health drivers across South Croydon localities. In South East Croydon, higher levels of adult obesity and physical inactivity create a need for targeted weight management support. In South West Croydon, the older population profile and prevalence of long-term conditions create increased demand for carer support and interventions that reduce social isolation. The service will focus on defined high-risk cohorts, including residents living in areas of socioeconomic deprivation, individuals from ethnic groups with elevated cardiometabolic risk at lower BMI thresholds, people living with severe mental illness, unpaid carers experiencing high caring strain, and older residents experiencing loneliness. The programmes will deliver structured behavioural interventions (typically 8-12 weeks), targeted outreach, and coordinated referral pathways with primary care, voluntary sector partners and existing public health services. The service is intended to complement rather than duplicate the Croydon Council commissioned Adult Healthy Behaviours Service, which provides a universal lifestyle offer across the borough. The service will contribute to reducing preventable morbidity and supporting residents to maintain independence by improving cardiometabolic health, reducing carer strain and addressing loneliness. Providers will be expected to demonstrate measurable outcomes using validated indicators such as clinically significant weight loss, reductions in carer strain and improvements in loneliness and mental wellbeing. The total indicative financial envelope for this service is PS169,430 per annum covering delivery of all three programme components. Further detail regarding the proposed cohorts, service scope, delivery expectations and outcome measures is provided in the Draft Service Specification attached as Appendix A. System Alignment and Strategic Context Croydon operates within a collaborative health and care system, with both NHS and Local Authority partners contributing to the prevention and health improvement agenda. The London Borough of Croydon Public Health team is progressing plans to procure a borough-wide, universal Adult Healthy Lifestyle Service. This service is intended to provide broad access to weight management, smoking cessation and alcohol reduction for Croydon adult residents. In parallel, the NHS-commissioned Targeted Weight Management and Wellbeing Behaviours Service for South Croydon is being designed as a targeted intervention, focused on residents at higher risk of poor health outcomes, in line with Core20PLUS5 principles and local population health intelligence. These two offers are intended to be complementary and mutually reinforcing, rather than duplicative. The expectation is that providers will: * Understand the distinction between universal and targeted provision for weight management * Actively collaborate with Public Health-commissioned services * Establish clear referral, signposting, and escalation pathways between weight management services * Contribute to a coherent, system-wide prevention offer that maximises reach, engagement, and outcomes Providers should therefore consider how their delivery model will align with, and add value to, the wider Croydon prevention landscape, including working in partnership to ensure residents receive the most appropriate level of support based on need. RESPONSE INSTRUCTIONS Organisations should ensure that they have read the supporting information provided prior to responding, noting that the information and any intentions shared may be subject to change (in both form and content) should the ICB decide to procure a new service. Please provide informative, yet succinct responses. Please do NOT include additional marketing documentation. Please Submit your response to this PMEQ using the following Microsoft Form link: PRJ2261 SWL South Croydon Weight Management & Wellbeing Behaviours Pre Market Engagement - Collaboration Please return by no later than 11th May 2026 at 12:00 (mid-day GMT).
