The engagement is slated to conclude on 24 May 2019. This procurement falls under the health and social work services sector and aims to understand market capability through discussions with potential service providers. Meetings will take place at Pugneys Country Park, Wakefield, on 30 and 31 May 2019, with participation limited to six organisations that respond to the advertisement. Interested parties must contact Debbie Hastings to express their interest. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in health and social services, especially those focused on children's health initiatives, nutritional guidance, and lifestyle change interventions. Companies that provide services for overweight and obese children and their families, including those offering digital solutions for health management, would be particularly well-suited to compete in this market. Engaging in this tender process can enhance visibility and lead to the development of sustainable partnerships within the health sector, bolstering organisational growth in health-related service provision. ## Notice Wakefield Council's Health Improvement Team is preparing to develop the service specification for the contract for a Children's Weight Management service which will commence on 1 April 2020. As part of this preparation, commissioners are keen to engage with a number of potential providers in addition to the existing service providers of adult weight management services. This is in order to understand market capability which will assist commissioners to develop the service specification. Currently, the Council is proposing to commission a children and family service. It is envisaged the service will focus on dietary, nutritional, behaviour change and physical activity to support sustainable change. The Council intends to meet with up to 6 potential service providers in addition to the Councils existing service providers of adult weight management services to discuss the development of the districts' future children and family weight management provision. These meetings will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis to the 6 potential service providers who respond to this advertisement. Face-to-face meetings will be scheduled for 45 minutes per provider and will be held on Thurs 30th and Fri 31st May 2019 at Pugneys Country Park, Asdale Rd, Wakefield WF2 7EQ.
