## Summary

Lothian NHS Board procured a digital weight management programme, classified as hospital and related services. The named supplier, Second Nature, is based in London; the procurement data does not identify where the programme is delivered. The tender description refers to a specification for the detailed requirements. This is a health service focused on digital support for weight management, rather than a purchase of equipment or construction work. The buyer is Lothian NHS Board, and the selected supplier is Second Nature.

The procurement has been awarded to Second Nature. The awarded contract value is £578,000. The tender title describes the route as an insourcing procurement through a dynamic purchasing system, but the procedure and evaluation criteria are not detailed in the available process information. Two bids were recorded. No award date or contract period is provided, so the duration and timing of the agreement cannot be assessed. The contract is recorded as active. The procurement is presented as a single requirement, with no separate lot awards reported. The title identifies the requirement as LMC-228-2026 and the DPS as NP676-22; these identifiers do not clarify the service specification or assessment basis.

The award shows that Lothian NHS Board buys digital weight management support through an insourcing route, using a dynamic purchasing system. A supplier competing for a similar requirement would need to deliver a digital programme suited to weight management and be able to work within this purchasing route. The award to Second Nature is evidence that a specialist digital provider can secure this type of NHS service contract. The contract value indicates a substantial service requirement, and two bids were recorded, so suppliers would need a credible delivery model and a competitive offer. The detailed specification is not represented in the process information, so the award alone does not establish particular clinical credentials, platform features, staffing levels or capacity requirements.
