The tender will be conducted through an open procurement method. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in digital healthcare and app development, to engage with an innovative project aimed at public health improvement. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as their involvement could enhance the development of the Lower My Drinking app and contribute to shaping effective strategies for market engagement with relevant audiences. ## Notice Sandwell Public Health in partnership with Breaking Free a digital healthcare company are intending to launch a new digital platform for reducing alcohol harm called Lower My Drinking. A core component of this solution is a mobile app for iOS and Android devices that is designed to enable people drinking at a level of either increasing or higher risk to their health to reduce their alcohol use to safer levels through self-management (i.e. self-directed treatment). We want to test the platform with both professional groups and three different client groups. The outcomes of the testing will contribute to improvements to the app, as well as providing insight into how to market the Lower My Drinking solution to the target audience.
