Summary of the contracting process

Worcestershire County Council commissioned Blooming Healthy, an in-house maternal healthy weight service for women with a high BMI during pregnancy. The service provides tailored one-to-one lifestyle advice and support, with the aim of helping women avoid gaining excess weight in pregnancy. This is a health service delivered in Worcester, Worcestershire, under one completed lot. The requirement sits within the public health and maternal wellbeing market and may suit providers experienced in pregnancy-related weight management, lifestyle support, health coaching or related clinical services. The awarded supplier is Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, indicating delivery by a local NHS organisation for the council.

The procurement has completed through a below-threshold route under the light-touch regime, with one lot. The contract was awarded to Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust on 10 August 2026 and is active. Its value is £100,000 excluding VAT, or £120,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and runs from 10 August 2026 to 31 March 2028. The award covers health services for the single lot. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and confirms that the tender reached completion; the procurement data does not state a weighted evaluation basis or a separate bid deadline.

This procurement demonstrates a defined local need for maternal healthy weight support focused on women with a high BMI and delivered through tailored one-to-one lifestyle advice. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in pregnancy-related weight management, behaviour-change support and sensitive communication with pregnant women. Providers should be able to design and deliver individualised advice rather than a generic group programme, while working appropriately within a public health or NHS environment. Relevant experience of supporting maternal wellbeing, managing health-related interventions and coordinating with public-sector clinical services would strengthen a supplier’s position. Organisations able to provide a consistent local service at the scale of a council-commissioned health programme would be best placed when this requirement is next considered.
