This initiative aims to address childhood obesity through improved food culture in schools and early years' settings across Warwickshire, located in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The tender process is currently active, with a deadline for submission set for 13th August 2018. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically focused on health training and physical well-being services, and will utilise Warwickshire's e-tendering system, CSW-JETS, for its administration. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in health training services, sustainable catering, and community health initiatives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete, as the council seeks innovative approaches to engage schools and stakeholders in transforming food procurement and culture. Successful participation in this tender could lead to future collaborations with Warwickshire County Council, aligning with governmental health priorities and contributing to public health outcomes. ## Notice Warwickshire CC wishes to test the market to identify other services, that have a strong peer reviewed evidence base, can sustain and transform food culture and that works towards reducing the rise in obesity in children, young people and early years' settings across Warwickshire. WCC will use this information to inform and shape the specification for future service provision. Warwickshire are looking for a provider to help us meet the Government's priority on Childhood Obesity: A plan for Action 2017 to halt the rising tide in obesity across the UK. WCC's Director of Public Health is committed to this priority agenda by taking a preventative, early intervention life course approach so that children, their families and wider communities, living in Warwickshire, have the best chance of maintaining a healthy weight and minimising the risk of obesity related disease later in life. This incorporates three key areas of activity: - Transforming catering by enabling and empowering schools, early years and caterers to undertake healthy, sustainable and ethical food procurement. - Adopting a whole school approach by providing opportunities, skills and confidence within the school community. - Strategic activities via engaging key stakeholders within the Health, Education and Catering sectors to implement a holistic community approach.
