## Summary

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council has undertaken a procurement process for the provision of Tier 2 Weight Management Services. This initiative is part of the Council's commitment to improving community health outcomes within the region of Sandwell, UKG37, United Kingdom. The contract was awarded on 10th March 2026, following which services are expected to commence from 1st April 2026, with an initial term of one year and an option for a one-year extension. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically community health services, and was conducted using the direct procurement method, below the threshold without competition, fitting within the light-touch regime. The procurement was managed in accordance with UK legislation, referencing legal basis 2023/54. The awarded contract is divided into two lots, with Sandwell Leisure Trust operating under the name KORE Sandwell and Places Leisure, operated by Places for People Leisure Limited, serving as suppliers.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in health and wellness services, particularly those with capabilities in delivering structured weight management programmes. Sandwell Leisure Trust and Places Leisure have been engaged as suppliers, which suggests that entities with a focus on community health services, such as leisure centres and wellness programmes, could be well-positioned to compete in similar tenders. The requirement for specialised knowledge in nutritional education, exercise planning, and behavioural change support suggests a viable opportunity for companies in these domains to expand and collaborate with public health authorities. The emphasis on structured, monitored health initiatives aligns with national guidance, offering a platform for businesses to contribute to meaningful health improvements in local communities and secure long-term partnerships with public sector clients.
