UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Waltham Forest is planning to procure Tier 2 weight management services for children and adults. The service will provide lifestyle advice and support healthy weight among children, weight loss among adults, and improved overall health and wellbeing. This is a health and social care services requirement, covering delivery in the United Kingdom. The council is seeking providers with demonstrable experience of delivering both child and adult weight management services. The requirement is arranged as one planned lot and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It may suit providers already delivering community-based, public health, behavioural change, nutrition, physical activity or wider wellbeing services, provided they can support both age groups and the intended health outcomes. The buying organisation is the London Borough of Waltham Forest.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is not an invitation to tender. The council expects to publish the next notice on 7 December 2026. It has planned preliminary market engagement, with responses expected by 28 September 2026. The planned contract is expected to run from 24 June 2027 to 31 March 2030, with a possible extension taking the maximum end date to 1 April 2032. The published estimated value is £10 excluding VAT, or £12 including VAT, for the procurement. The requirement is above the relevant threshold. It is a single-lot services procurement, with renewal anticipated. The council’s stated focus is on providers’ demonstrable experience in delivering Tier 2 weight management services for children and adults, rather than on a current tender submission.

The planned service should suit specialist weight management providers, public health and community health organisations, and established social enterprises or SMEs with relevant delivery capacity. Strong candidates will be able to provide an integrated service for children and adults, combining practical lifestyle advice with support for healthy weight, adult weight loss and wider wellbeing. Demonstrable experience of delivering Tier 2 services across both age groups is central to the requirement, so providers with evidence of comparable programmes, qualified delivery teams and effective referral or engagement arrangements will be well placed to prepare. Organisations with experience working with councils, health services, schools, families or community groups may be relevant where that experience supports the required outcomes. Providers should consider how they would evidence service quality, reach, safeguarding and measurable health and wellbeing results when the procurement reaches the market.
