Tier 2 Weight Management Services (Dynamic Purchasing System)

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets (referred to as 'Tower Hamlets' or the 'Authority') would like to invite organisations to submit applications through a Dynamic Purchasing System Process (DPS) to become accepted providers of the Tower Hamlets Tier 2 Weight Management Service.Overweight and obesity presents a major challenge to the current and future health of the local population. Higher Body Mass Index (BMI) is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality from a range of conditions and contributes to increased health and social care costs. Due to these reasons, weight management is a local priority for the council, our partners and local residents.Tier 2 tender documents: https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=0ef0b76b-0afb-e911-80fb-005056b64545

Additional information: The Council has a budget of £770,000 for the services; however, it is possible that further funding may become available during the life of the DPS. Should this be the case the Council will run mini-competitions for those services as and when required; the total estimated contract value reflects this.
