Summary of the contracting process

Trafford Council is seeking a provider for a targeted, community-based healthy weight and wellbeing service for adults most affected by healthy weight inequalities in Trafford. The health service is intended to improve physical and mental wellbeing, support lasting behaviour change, improve diet and physical activity, and build confidence and self-management. It is also intended to reduce social isolation and improve access for residents who face barriers to engaging with support. The work focuses on reducing inequalities in healthy weight through locally delivered support, rather than supplying goods or carrying out construction. The service falls within health services (CPV 85100000) and is delivered in Trafford.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This is a single-lot service. Questions were due by 18 November 2026 at 12:00, and offers by 23 November 2026 at 12:00. The buyer set an award decision date of 14 December 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions and a maximum end date of 31 March 2031. Its estimated value is £320,000 excluding VAT and £384,000 including VAT. Evaluation is based entirely on quality, through the stated key/basic criteria quality questions.

The requirement is suited to small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Suppliers with experience delivering community-based healthy weight and wellbeing support for adults are likely to find the service relevant, particularly where they can help people improve diet and activity, sustain behaviour change and build confidence in managing their wellbeing. The service also calls for approaches that address social isolation and reach residents who face barriers to engaging with support. Organisations able to deliver targeted support in Trafford, with a focus on adults most affected by healthy weight inequalities, align with the stated purpose. Quality is the sole evaluation basis, so providers should be prepared to demonstrate the strength of their proposed service against the quality questions.
