The brief

North Northamptonshire Council is seeking to appoint a lead Service Provider to deliver a comprehensive Integrated Healthy Lifestyles Service (IHLS) in North Northamptonshire, with elements of subcontracting permitted to support residents to make sustainable changes to the key modifiable risk factors across the adult life course, enabling them to live longer in better health, whilst achieving a reduction in inequalities between communities.

The service will seek to address key modifiable risk factors that contribute to preventable ill-health.

The service will have a primary focus on physical activity, diet and excess weight, strength and balance for falls prevention and earlier identification of increased risk of developing long-term conditions.

The service will introduce a central triage function to improve access and referrals into healthy lifestyle support, along with an expanded range of interventions to support behaviour change.

The service will include a range of interventions organised into three core pillars: Pillar 1: a universal self-help pillar comprising of health promotion campaigns and digital self-help tools Pillar 2: a behaviour change pillar providing health coaching support to address the in-scope risk factors Pillar 3: a structured treatment pillar targeting reducing inequalities through provision of community falls prevention, an enhanced behaviour change support, and a targeted NHS Health Checks programme in workplaces and specific communities.

This procurement process is being managed by the Council in accordance with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

The contract for this project will be awarded via the Competitive Process, subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award.
