This service falls under the Health Services category, specifically aimed at offering a healthy lifestyle programme led by health coaches or similar in a peer group model. The procurement, conducted as a Provider Selection Regime under Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, has reached the contract award stage, with DDM Health Limited selected as the supplier. The contract, valued at £207,713 excluding VAT, was awarded on 26 September 2025, and the service provision is intended from 26 January 2026 to 25 January 2029.

Businesses equipped with expertise in health coaching or peer group interventions stand well-suited to deliver effective services under this contract. With a contract value of £240,000 previously set and potential for contract modifications, there may be room for expanding services during the contract's lifetime, offering further business growth opportunities. While DDM Health Limited has been selected, similar businesses with innovative approaches in patient care and programme delivery can leverage past experiences and insights to position themselves effectively for future tender processes.
