Description

West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) is seeking to engage with suppliers and to inform the market of the forthcoming commissioning of the Integrated Healthy Lifestyle programme. The proposed Integrated Healthy Lifestyle Service is intended to provide a coordinated and accessible prevention offer for adults across West Northamptonshire. The service will bring together a range of evidence-based interventions within a single system, enabling residents to receive personalised support based on their individual needs, circumstances and health goals. The model is intended to support prevention, early intervention and behaviour change, while addressing health inequalities and strengthening community resilience. This Integrated service is proposed to include; adult weight management, physical activity, smoking cessation support, and holistic health advice/coaching, to include alcohol, dietary, and physical activity advice and signposting, mental/emotional support. The service will also include coordination of strength & balance classes, provision of NHS Health Checks through the community, and a Children & Young People’s healthy weight offer. The provider will also deliver professional training and be responsible for the associated marketing of these services. The purpose of this soft market test is to seek views from the market on the proposed service model. We are exploring the viability of a lead provider contracting model, with the potential of sub-contracting arrangements, where appropriate, and invite feedback on the overall approach, including its structure, effectiveness, and delivery. It is anticipated that the procurement will be undertaken on a 5+2+1+1+1 year contract basis, providing long-term stability for providers while enabling WNC to review performance, emerging population health needs and future investment requirements. To register your interest and to receive further information please e-mail procurement@westnorthants.gov.uk by 5pm, Monday 23rd November 2026.
