## Summary

NHS England is actively seeking to appoint up to five providers for the National Diabetes Prevention Programme (NDPP) under the framework designation FW3. This competitive tender process, classified under health services, focuses on expanding access to programmes aimed at preventing Type 2 diabetes, especially for underserved populations throughout England. The contract, valued at £142.64 million, is due to be awarded by 4th November 2021, with the operational period commencing from 1st February 2022 and extending until 31st January 2025. An opportunity to engage in a virtual familiarisation event is scheduled for 28th September 2021, where potential bidders can learn more about the specifics of the tender and the associated e-tendering process.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for health service providers, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to expand their offerings in the public health sector. Businesses specialising in behavioural interventions, digital health solutions, and community health services will find this procurement particularly relevant. The successful implementation of this programme, which anticipates delivering approximately 200,000 interventions annually, carries the potential for long-term partnerships with NHS England and the ability to access a share of a substantial funding envelope dedicated to diabetes prevention.

## Notice

NHS England will be seeking to appoint up to 5 providers to a new framework (Framework 3) to continue to deliver a behaviour change programme nationally, with the ability to offer face to face, digital (app web based) and remote (video/tele conferencing) service delivery. This new framework will also aim to: * Widen access and choice of prevention services, particularly for working age and younger cohorts, and individuals who experience health inequalities and inequity in access in communities; * Continue improving retention on interventions to maximise benefit; * Ensure continued universal availability of services for the benefit of eligible citizens; * Encourage innovation to improve quality and effectiveness of services; and * Achieve best value for money and sustainability of services. This opportunity is available - https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome As part of the NDPP, NHS England wishes to re-procure a Framework Agreement with up to 5 (five) providers who are able to deliver services, anywhere in England, involving behavioural interventions aimed at preventing or delaying the onset of Type 2 diabetes in people with non-diabetic hyperglycemia (or pre-diabetes) or people with normoglycaemia with a previous history of gestational diabetes. The Framework Agreement will include an option for it to be extended for a further 12 months in addition to the initial 3 year term upon review. It is anticipated that between them, the providers will have the opportunity to bid on roughly 50% of ICS contracts to be awarded under the Framework Agreement by August 2022 with the following 50% expected to be awarded under the Framework Agreement from 2023. The providers awarded a Framework Agreement will deliver services as part of the NDPP, which delivers in the region of 200,000 behavioural interventions per annum. During the term, NHS England reserves the right, should funding become available, to increase the number of behavioural interventions per annum. The numbers of behavioural interventions may vary during the term of the Framework Agreement and these figures are estimates only, as precise quantities of likely purchases are unknown. The Services are healthcare services which fall under "social and other specific services" under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("PCR"). NHS England is therefore only bound by the parts of the PCR that specifically apply to social and other specific services. As permitted by the PCR, during this procurement process, NHS England may (and reserves the right to) vary the award procedure for the Framework Agreement which may (but is not limited to) include having negotiation and/or dialogue with Bidders if required, in which case all Bidders would be notified. We are also hosting a virtual Specification familiarisation event including Atamis e-tendering guidance on 28th September 9-12:30. If you would like to attend this event please register your interest by emailing england.ndpp@nhs.net
