## Summary

The NHS West Sussex Clinical Commissioning Group is undertaking a procurement process for the "Tier 3 Weight Management Services" contract. This initiative, categorized under health and social work services, is located in the East and West Sussex areas. The process, currently in the award stage, follows the completion of the tender initiation, with contracts awarded to TBC Healthcare Ltd and Sussex Medical Chambers Ltd for a period of up to 22 months, commencing on 1 June 2022. The procurement method utilised is open procedure, and the significant contract values allocated are approximately £227,490 for East Sussex CCG, £823,405 for North West and Mid Sussex, and £831,342 for Coastal West Sussex.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The COVID pandemic, with the consequent need to focus resource on managing repeated waves and subsequent, ongoing recovery and restoration priorities have caused a delay in re-commissioning Tier 3 Bariatric services across Sussex, which we had intended to undertake during the 20/21 financial year. We now anticipate undertaking a procurement in the early part of 22/23 and preparation for this is underway. Tier 3 weight management service provision aims to: * To provide an alternative to surgical intervention * To prepare patients adequately if a surgical intervention is required * To improve health outcomes in severely obese patients * To provide a maintenance plan for patients who are exiting the service To provide a service for patients who meet the referral criteria * To improve health outcomes in severely obese patients * To reduce the health burden of obesity In order to ensure that there is no break in service availability for current patients, many of whom would have only recently commenced lengthy pathways, we intend to renew the current Tier 3 weight management contracts in East Sussex (High Weald Lewes & Havens) and West Sussex CCG (for North West and Mid Sussex) with TBC Healthcare Ltd for 22 months, and in West Sussex CCG (for Coastal West Sussex) with Sussex Medical Chambers Ltd, also for 22 months. Where these contracts are superseded by contracts arising from the planned procurement, they will be terminated early in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions and in the best interests of patients. Additional information: Contract values are as follows: TBC Healthcare Ltd: East Sussex CCG (old HLWH CCG area) = PS227,490 West Sussex CCG (for North West and Mid Sussex) = PS823,405 Sussex Medical Chambers Ltd: West Sussex CCG (for Coastal West Sussex) = PS831,342.
