## Summary

The NHS Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board has completed a procurement process for the development of business and domestic software aimed at creating a Single Point of Access (SPoA) for weight management services. This initiative is a collaboration involving local weight management providers and commissioners, with the objective of enhancing patient navigation and service delivery within the Integrated Care System. The contract, awarded to BIG PICTURE MEDICAL LTD, covers regions UKH14 and UKH34 in the United Kingdom. This procurement process, categorised under health and social work services, follows a limited competition method as it is below the procurement threshold. The contract commenced on 16th December 2025 and will extend until 7th September 2026, with a potential renewal until 2027. The award was officially active from 15th January 2026.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses in the health technology and service sectors, particularly those specialising in software development for medical or health-related applications. Given the focus on weight management and complex obesity services, companies with expertise in health informatics, healthcare pathways, and digital health solutions are particularly well-suited to engage in such projects. The partnership with an established organisation like the NHS, along with the scalable nature of the proposed system, offers considerable potential for business growth and sector exposure. SMEs, like BIG PICTURE MEDICAL LTD, can harness this opportunity to showcase innovative solutions that optimise patient pathways and management systems in the healthcare industry.

## Notice

SNEE ICB, in collaboration with ESNEFT and local weight management providers and commissioners across the Integrated Care System (ICS), propose the creation of a Single Point of Access (SPoA) for all ICS weight management referrals. This is currently across the SNEE geography but is subject to change given future ICB changes, and therefore a scalable solution is needed. This new innovation would serve to risk stratify and triage patients into the most appropriate initial weight management service pathway, navigating the patient in a timely manner and based on clinical need to either a local weight management provider, an NHS digital weight management offers (Digital Weight Management Programme, Diabetes Prevention Programme, Type 2 Diabetes to Remission programme) or the ESNEFT WMCOS which includes Community Outreach for GLP-1 medication delivery.
