## Summary

NHS Dorset Integrated Care Board is planning a procurement process for a Weight Management Service with prescribing functionality under the industry category of health services. This initiative, currently at the planning stage, is categorised under services (CPV code 85100000) and involves a Pre-Tender Market Engagement (PTME) event rather than an official call for competition. The aim is to gather market insights to define requirements and assess feasibility. Interested parties are invited to complete an online questionnaire by 6th January 2025. The procurement would serve the UKK2 region, with further notice expected by 3rd March 2025.

This procurement process offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive weight management solutions with added prescribing functionality. Companies specialising in healthcare could leverage this opportunity to expand their service offerings and establish a partnership with NHS Dorset ICB. This early engagement allows businesses to influence the procurement process, ensuring their solutions align with the needs identified by NHS Dorset ICB, thereby increasing their chances of securing future contracts.
