Description

Staffordshire County Council (SCC) is inviting providers to complete a soft market testing questionnaire to provide commissioners with insight that will be used to shape the development of a local model and specification, the capacity of the market to deliver this service, and the level of interest in this proposed procurement activity.

The Integrated Lifestyle Service will provide information, advice and guidance; self-help tools; and evidence-based lifestyle interventions to enable individuals to achieve and maintain positive lifestyle changes, thus reducing the risk of developing chronic diseases which lead to premature morbidity and mortality. The Service will reduce the gap in health inequalities by focusing resources on specific parts of the County and identified groups with poorest health outcomes.

The services in scope for re-procurement are:

Stop Smoking Support - Evidenced based interventions to support Service Users (18 years +) who smoke tobacco to successfully and permanently stop smoking.

Adult Weight Management - To support Service Users (18 years +) to achieve a clinically beneficial weight loss and focus on diet and physical activity together, rather than attempting to modify either diet or physical activity alone.

Workplace Health Offer - Evidenced based lifestyle (adult stop smoking, adult weight management) and NHS Health Check provision, provided on site wherever possible.

NHS Health Checks - To offer and provide NHS Health Checks to eligible Service Users and manage and support people to reduce their risks identified (medical and lifestyle).

Making Every Contact Count (MECC) - Develop and deliver a localised MECC training package and Train the Trainer model (training competencies will be specified). This will include face to face and virtual options.

It is proposed that the Integrated Lifestyle Service commences on 1st April 2023.

Completion of the following questions will not infer any advantage upon individual organisations and is an information gathering exercise only.

The market engagement questionnaire is available on the Proactis procurement portal. Interested providers are asked to register on the E tendering Proactis system (below) and express an interest in the opportunity IA2706 Integrated Lifestyle Service.
