This pilot service aims to manage Tier 2 weight support specifically tailored for children and their families across Oxfordshire, focusing on areas with significant health inequalities. The contract, valued at £380,000, commenced on 1 July 2022 and is set to end on 31 December 2023, with a term of 18 months and an option to extend for an additional year. The tender process included a deadline for expressions of interest, which concluded on 15 March 2022. This procurement presents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those specialising in weight management and health support services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the initiative aims to provide tailored health interventions for children identified as overweight or obese. Organisations capable of delivering group and one-on-one support within a structured care framework will find this tender particularly relevant for their growth and community impact in Oxfordshire. ## Notice Oxfordshire County Council is looking for a service provider for an initial pilot approach for a new Tier 2 healthy weight management service for children and their families in Oxfordshire. This will enable the Council to test and learn what works well and not so well in different areas across Oxfordshire and with different communities to inform future commissioning. The Council is inviting tenders from providers to pilot the delivery of group and 1-1 support at Tier 2 for children and families across all 5 districts in Oxfordshire, but with a focus on the greatest areas of inequality and excess weight. Working with partners to provide a streamlined pathway of care between Tier 1-4 will be paramount to this offer. Reducing obesity is a priority public health issue for Oxfordshire. The Health Improvement Board (HIB) oversees the Whole Systems Approach (WSA) to healthy weight, which involves system partners working together to deliver a range of initiatives to increase the number of adults, children and families who are a healthy weight in Oxfordshire. Reducing health inequalities by working with disadvantaged communities and individuals is integral to this approach. The provision of tier 2 weight management services for children and their families will contribute to the WSA and close a gap in healthy weight support for children who are identified as very overweight or obese following national childhood measurement programme (NCMP) or otherwise. Tenderers are invited to tender for the provision for a term of 18 Months with an option for the Council to extend for up to 12 Months anticipated to commence on 1 May 2022.
