Summary of the contracting process

NHS Dorset Integrated Care Board procured the Personalised Pathways to Healthy Weight service, a new health service designed to support people through personalised pathways towards healthier weight. The requirement covers service delivery across the Dorset area, for the benefit of local patients and the wider health and care system. It is a service contract rather than a works or goods purchase. The buyer is NHS Dorset Integrated Care Board, based in Dorchester, with NHS England identified as the review body. The service is classified as health services and is intended to provide integrated support across relevant health and community settings, with delivery dependent on effective coordination with existing services.

The procurement has reached award and contract signature. DDM Health Limited was selected as the supplier, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 15 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2029, with an approximate lifetime value of £1,900,000. The process used an open procedure under the Provider Selection Regime’s competitive process. Bids were evaluated using quality, social value and price criteria, alongside mandatory pass/fail requirements. The published evaluation narrative gave technical and quality considerations the greatest importance at 65%, followed by price at 25% and social value at 10%. The procurement received five bids. The contract was awarded as a single lot.

This procurement indicates demand for providers able to deliver personalised healthy-weight services within an NHS-integrated model. Credible competitors would need a strong, evidence-based service design, capable staffing and the operational capacity to support patients across community and healthcare settings. The evaluation placed particular weight on service quality, patient outcomes, integration with existing services, governance, reporting and innovation. Suppliers would also need to demonstrate affordability, a clear approach to social value and the ability to reduce health inequalities and deliver wider community benefits. Mandatory contractual, operational and safety requirements must be met, supported by robust supplier governance assurance. Experience working with NHS or comparable health and community systems would strengthen a future proposition.
