Description

This is a retender of an opportunity for providers to bid for Adult Weight Management Services. Responsibility for this service sits with Public Health Dorset and covers the geographical areas of Dorset Council and Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole Council. As part of the national obesity strategy, all local authorities are obligated to provide weight management services to their residents. Dorset Council uses ‘LiveWell Dorset’ as the front door to these services – with a specific pathway for those wishing to access weight loss support. As it stands, residents contact LiveWell to initiate a discussion with an advisor, who will assess their need and eligibility for funded assistance. Alongside the in-house coaching offer, clients are offered 12-week ‘kick start’ vouchers to the commissioned weight management service. The intention is that this initial period will encourage the formation of healthy habits and better understanding of healthy weight maintenance.

• To support obese adults in Dorset, Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole to lose and maintain 5% of their initial body weight and lead healthy lifestyles. • Provide in-person weight loss support, to eligible clients who will be referred into the Service by Public Health Dorset. • Promote sustainable lifestyle changes by addressing eating and activity behaviours and offering follow-up support over the course of a year. • Deliver the Service across the whole of Dorset’s geographical area and contribute to minimising health inequalities by offering equitable access. • The framework is arranged into 3 lots: face to face service only (1 provider); digital service only (1 provider) and dual face to face and digital service (Up to 2 providers).
