Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust commissioned an obesity pathway innovation service for the BRIDGE programme, serving patients across the Birmingham and Solihull area. The service forms part of a whole-pathway model alongside a digital access and management platform. That platform identifies patients, supports self-referral and triage, manages onward referrals and hosts resources to reduce weight regain. The commissioned clinical service provides clinical assessment, behavioural weight-management support and pharmacological weight-management support, then discharges patients back to routine care. This is a healthcare services requirement, covering specialist obesity care rather than construction, goods supply or general consultancy. The named buyer is University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham.

The procurement has been awarded under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime, using a limited award procedure without a prior call for competition. DDM HEALTH LIMITED was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 1 August 2026. Its value is £1,543,420.94 for 12 months, covering service delivery from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The urgent route was justified by quality and safety concerns and delays that pushed programme mobilisation beyond the original timetable. The stated evaluation addressed immediate risks to safety and quality of care and price. The procurement record describes a single service scope, with one bid recorded. The award is active; the associated lot is marked cancelled.

This requirement is most relevant to healthcare providers able to deliver an integrated obesity service across clinical assessment, behavioural intervention, pharmacological weight management and safe discharge to routine care. Credible competitors would need clinical expertise in obesity management, the capacity to handle patient identification, triage, referral and ongoing support within a structured pathway, and the ability to work alongside a digital access and management platform. Experience of delivering patient-facing NHS or comparable health services would help demonstrate quality, safety and operational resilience. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that a specialist provider can undertake a substantial regional healthcare service. Businesses preparing for similar work should be able to evidence multidisciplinary clinical capability, measurable quality controls and timely mobilisation.
