This refers to Specific groups' weight management programmes that may include in-reach (delivery of services within identified facilities such as day centres), very low calorie diet or other innovative interventions.
This application process has been issued by London Borough of Tower Hamlets on in accordance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations) Schedule 3 ("Light Touch") service. This Procurement Exercise will therefore be run in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as they apply to "light touch" services.
While the Authority is following a process similar to a Dynamic Purchasing System under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 neither that fact nor any other statements, acts or omissions of the Authority in connection with this Procurement Exercise should be taken as indicating that the Authority intends to be bound by the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or the general principles of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to any greater extent than applies by law.
