Tier 2 Weight Management Projects

Tender description

Public Health England have awarded councils a ring-fenced grant to procure tier 2 weight management programmes (Appendix 1). Lifestyle tier 2 weight management programmes for overweight or obese adults are multi-component programmes that aim to reduce a person's energy intake and help them to be more physically active by facilitating behaviour change. Wellbeing & Public Health is seeking to purchase provision of a range of tier 2 weight management programmes across a range of providers that run up until March 2022 (or June 2022 by arrangement with Public Health England). These projects can be up to a value of £25,000. There is no specific format for these to be delivered and it is envisaged that Providers will deliver a unique programme of support aligned to their core business and informed by points in Section 5 and documents in Appendix 1. Tier 2 weight management programmes, courses or clubs can: • accept adults through self-referral or referral from a health or social care practitioner • be provided by the public, private or voluntary sector • be based in the community, workplaces or in primary care • be delivered face to face, in person or via remote and virtual platforms • are usually delivered at weekly intervals over a minimum period of 12 weeks for all persons assessed as eligible.
