Description

The Council wishes to establish a contract for an Adult Weight Management App.

There is a requirement for all adult residents, aged 16 and over, with a Body Mass Index(BMI) of >25kg/m2 (or >23kg/m2 if of Asian or Black origin) to be able to access the App (with no limits on resident numbers able to access the service). The App should provide a multi component weight management programme incorporating advice and support on diet and exercise which is age appropriate and considers gender and ethnicity. The App will allow the resident to set their own activity weight or loss goals and keep track of their activity and weight loss.

In addition to the criteria above, the App will include a BeActive+ user area for individuals who meet the criteria for the BeActive+ programme. The App will interface with the 12-week BeActive+ GP referral programme run by BCC as part of City Operations, Neighbourhoods Service. The programme is delivered at several Wellbeing Centres.

Furthermore, all App users will be able to access support and advice on how and when to exercise which is relevant to them. Users will be able to identify and locate relevant gyms, leisure centres, walking routes, amateur sports groups, gardening group, cooking groups etc in their area. The App will also provide links to mental health and wellbeing support.

For safeguarding purposes, the App will have the functionality to screen for BMI below normal range and risks indicated by user responses to health screening questionnaires on the App i.e., scores that are higher than the 'normal' range. Intervention will include promoting healthy weight, healthy eating and exercise, and/or to advise the user to contact their GP or relevant health professional.

The successful provider must meet the NHS Digital Technology Assessment Criteria (DTAC). The DTAC includes criteria covering clinical safety, data protection, technical security, interoperability, plus usability and accessibility. For your digital health product to pass the DTAC, you need to meet all requirements in each of the areas. You will need to hold an ORCHA certified DTAC badge, certificate and evidence or successfully undertake the assessment via ORCHA https://orchahealth.com/our-products/assessment-frameworks/digital-technology-assessment-criteria-dtac/ prior to the App's launch

The Contract will be for a period of 2 years with the option to extend for a further 2 years subject to funding availability and satisfactory performance.

The contract will be awarded to one supplier.
