Summary of the contracting process

NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board is procuring a community-based pre-diabetes programme in South Bristol. The service is for adults aged 18 to 50 diagnosed with pre-diabetes and aims to prevent progression to Type 2 diabetes, improve health outcomes and address health inequalities. The provider will carry out a one-to-one assessment within six weeks of diagnosis, create personalised support plans, deliver education and self-management support, review progress at six months, and connect people with primary care, community and voluntary-sector services. Delivery will take place across community settings in South Bristol, including evenings and weekends, with a focus on underserved populations. This is a health and community health service, classified under CPV 85100000 and 85323000.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. Health Exchange was selected for the single lot on 14 August 2026; the award remains pending, with the standstill period ending on 25 August 2026 and signature scheduled by 1 September 2026. The awarded value is £491,540.23, or £497,540.23 including gross value. The contract is due to run from 18 January 2027 to 17 January 2030, with an option to extend by up to two years, to 17 January 2032, at the commissioners’ discretion. Two bids were received, with one reaching the final stage. Evaluation weighted quality at 75%, social value at 10% and value for money at 15%. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This requirement suits providers able to run person-centred preventative health services in community settings and work effectively with primary care, voluntary organisations and local support services. Credible competitors would need the capacity to assess adults promptly after a pre-diabetes diagnosis, develop tailored plans, provide structured lifestyle education and self-management support, and maintain engagement through follow-up and outcome review. Experience of reaching underserved communities and delivering accessible services outside standard working hours would be particularly relevant. The evaluation places substantially greater emphasis on service quality than price, while also assessing social value, so evidence of effective clinical or health improvement delivery, measurable outcomes, partnership working and a clear approach to reducing health inequalities would strengthen a future response. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, and the awarded provider was a large VCSE.
