This procurement is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by midday on 20th March 2018. The contract is anticipated to commence in October 2018 and will last for up to three years, with an estimated annual value of £150,000. The specific service delivery will take place in the South West region of the United Kingdom, and the procurement follows a tender procedure below the OJEU threshold. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in health and social work services, particularly those with expertise in behavior change, community engagement, and health promotion. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are well-positioned to compete, given the focus on collaborative community work and building on existing local services to address high-risk populations. Businesses that can demonstrate a strong ability to connect with local communities and provide tailored support will be particularly appealing to the contracting authority. ## Notice NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) seeks to commission an Integrated Lifestyle service that will provide a cost-effective, high quality and integrated lifestyle provision, that encompasses prevention and supports long-term behaviour change with respect to any aspect of healthy lifestyles. SCW have proven behaviour change expertise and are seeking a partner that can deliver grass-roots support and work with existing local groups and communities through peer support, training and promotion of healthier lifestyles. The service being commissioned will provide delivery of support to specific and targeted populations based on individual need, and utilise existing sources that already exist in the community, as well as harnessing the potential of the strong voluntary and community sector that are well placed to advise, support and promote health and wellbeing. Key to the delivery of the programme is an ability to build on existing services that are reaching high risk groups, and to develop the 'making every contact count' approach. The contract period will be a period of up to 3 years. The contract is expected to start in October 2018. The contract is estimated to be in the region of 150k per annum. The full scope of the service can be found in the draft service specification available at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/scwcsu/aspx/Home The closing date for submission is 12 midday on the 20th March 2018.
