1415-189 Camden and Islington Healthy Lifestyles programme- LOT 3 ? Adult Weight Management

Tender description

Working as part of the overall Camden and Islington Healthy Lifestyles programme for lot 3 we are seeking a provider to deliver an Adult Weight Management Service (AWMS), to deliver community based tier 2 weight management programmes for overweight adults (body mass index 25 to 35kg/m2) with comorbidities and obese adults (body mass index 30 to 40kg/m2) in Camden and Islington. To facilitate choice for service users at the point of access and to provide attractive services to groups that typically engage poorly with weight management interventions, the AWMS should offer at least two sufficiently different programmes. The programmes will be categorised as follows: Programme 1: 70% of the time allocated to nutrition and behaviour change education Programme 2: 50% of the time allocated to physical activity Individual programmes offered within the AWMS will be required to be multi-component and National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) compliant. The service should be easy to access and should improve service users' skills, knowledge and confidence in healthy eating and physical activity, resulting in weight loss and long term weight maintenance. The service will also support a reduction in health inequalities by ensuring resources are targeted to priority communities.
