## Summary

The NHS England has recently completed a tender process for the "Low Calorie Diets Programme Contract," aimed at providing Total Diet Replacement (TDR) products alongside a support package for eligible participants with Type 2 diabetes. This initiative is a collaborative effort with NHS Improvement, Public Health England, and Diabetes UK. The contracts, valued at £4,261,590.40, have been awarded to various suppliers across the UK, operating within the health services sector. The contract period spans from 1st September 2020 to 31st August 2023, while the procurement method followed a Light Touch Regime, in accordance with OJEU principles. The tender period concluded on 15th January 2020.

This contracting opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialised in health services, particularly those offering innovative dietary solutions and supportive engagement strategies. Companies that can provide digital and face-to-face support, as well as those experienced in delivering health interventions to diverse communities, will find themselves well-placed to compete. The geographical reach across the North East, North West, and various other regions of the UK further enhances the opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs actively seeking to expand their footprint in the healthcare sector.
