Description

THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION Leicester City Council (LCC) is considering commissioning a service to promote body respect and reduce weight stigma in primary and secondary schools across Leicester. It is anticipated, dependent upon an engagement exercise, that tenders for this service would be sought in January 2027 to enable a new contract to begin from May 2027. As part of the commissioning process, the authority is undertaking a soft market test. This gives potential providers and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interest and feed in their views about a potential service model and specification principles. The commissioners will use the information to further develop a specification. This process does not constitute a formal tender or other competitive bidding process and will not result in the letting of a contract. The authority is using this process solely to test the market, gather information and ascertain the level of interest in this particular service. There are therefore no formal criteria which will be used to judge responses, and it is not the authority's intention to provide feedback.
