## Summary

Medway Council is initiating a tender for "The Provision of Psychotherapy Support For Children's Weight Management," aimed at addressing childhood obesity and related health issues. This project will provide specialist support for children and families in the South East region of the United Kingdom over a two-year contract period, starting from January 2, 2021, and concluding on January 31, 2023. The tender is currently in the open stage, with submissions due by December 1, 2020. The procurement method is an open procedure under the health services category.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health and social care sectors, particularly those specialising in psychotherapy, nutrition, and health services. Companies well-suited to compete would include those offering innovative health solutions, community health support, and family-focused interventions. The collaborative nature of the contract, which involves partnerships with various local health providers, implies that successful businesses will have the chance to broaden their networks and contribute to proactive health management initiatives in the community.

## Notice

This is a 2-year intervention for those children and families who may be complex, that are overweight, obese or with 2 or more co-morbidities. Specialist support will be offered for those with lower levels of motivation to develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to manage their health and wellbeing, whilst increasing their ability to access and utilize other offers of support across the community. A Clinical Nurse specialist and the team of Psychotherapists will work in conjunction with a host of partners who may include Social Care, Community Health, School Nurses, Early Help, Public Health, Dieticians, and staff at the Acute trust such as Paediatricians. This new Children's Weight management/Psychotherapy service will consider the whole family in addressing the existing issues and encourages proactive prevention, management or improvement of weight and health issues. It will be a non-judgmental approach that is based on strong communication and negotiation skills, that support personal choice and positive risk taking, assesses potential consequences and ensures that families can feel supported in making challenging lifestyle behaviour changes.
