2526 Adult Weight Management - Market Engagement (ME)

Islington Council is planning a procurement process for their Adult Weight Management services under the category of health and social work services. This market engagement aims to review and explore alternative models for delivering Tier 2 Weight Management services. The procurement process, which is currently in the planning stage, includes a preliminary market engagement scheduled to conclude by 9th May 2025.

The engagement phase includes reviewing the service models with potential providers. The Council's headquarters is located at Islington Town Hall, Upper Street, London N1 2UD, United Kingdom. This preliminary engagement provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social services to influence the future service delivery models and potentially secure contracts when the formal tendering process commences.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are deemed particularly suitable for this opportunity, which indicates a preference for diverse and flexible providers. Engaging early in the process can help businesses tailor their proposals to meet the Council’s needs, laying the groundwork for future growth and procurement success.
