The procurement involves up to 5 providers delivering healthcare services across England, focusing on social and other specific services under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The total value of the contract is £20,000,000 GBP, with the tender period ending on 22nd December 2022. The contract is set to start on 1st February 2023 and run until 31st January 2025.

This procurement opportunity presents a chance for businesses in the health services sector to compete for a significant contract with NHS England. Small and medium-sized enterprises are particularly encouraged to participate in this open procedure tender. Businesses offering services related to healthcare, counselling, guidance, community health, education, wellness, and other community services are well-suited to consider bidding for this contract and contributing to the delivery of the Low Calorie Diet Programme in line with NHS England's specified outcomes.

## Notice

NHS England wishes to procure a Framework Agreement with up to 5 providers who are able to provide between them up to 10,500 behavioural interventions annually across the 42 Integrated Care Systems (ICS) in England. The Framework Agreement will include an option for it to be extended for a further 12 months in addition to the initial 2 year term upon review. During the term of the Framework and any extension period, NHS England reserves the right, should funding become available, to increase the number of behavioural interventions. 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. Services should be delivered by the Provider in accordance with the Low Calorie Diets outcomes and core aims as detailed in the Specification. We are also hosting a virtual Specification familiarisation event including Atamis e-tendering guidance on 30th November 9-11:30. If you would like to attend this event please register your interest by registering in this project on the Atamis portal and sending a message through the messaging portal.
