two.2.4) Description of the procurement
NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (Wakefield District Health and Care Partnership) is seeking a provider to delivery an Adult Disordered Eating Service.
The Wakefield adult disordered eating service will provide targeted early intervention focused disordered eating support for adults 18+ and young adults who fall within the transitions age range of 16+ (in agreement with the CAMHS Children & Young People Eating Disorder Service).
The integrated service will offer both clinical & non-clinical support. Having a focus on early intervention and prevention, working to support people who fall within the gap that currently exists between our universal support in primary care and our regional West Yorkshire Tier 3+ CONNECT service.
The individuals supported are likely to have already required substantial clinical interventions, including hospital admissions, and, if not appropriately managed, face a high risk of severe mental and physical health deterioration. The focus will remain on addressing the complexity and underlying factors driving disordered eating behaviours, ensuring equitable access for those most in need.
The high-level objectives of the Wakefield Tier 2 disordered eating service are to:
• Increase the number of individuals in Wakefield being able to access support for disordered eating earlier.
• Improvement in patient-reported outcomes (e.g., PROMs or quality-of-life measure)
• Reduction in hospital admissions related to disordered eating.
• Reduction in out of area placements
• Enhanced access and outcomes for underserved populations/ groups
The service will offer triage, assessment, care planning and intervention in line with NICE Guidance. Including but not limited to:
• Referrals to relevant external services, case holding and supporting individuals to access required interventions. Facilitating warm handovers and helping people navigate different service offers.
• Access to psychological therapies
• Support to access guided self-help as a first line intervention if appropriate
• Input from experts by experience (peer support workers)
• Support from occupational therapy
• Support from dieticians
• Support to access self-management and psychoeducation support.
The service must have clear pathways for individuals with comorbid conditions (e.g., substance misuse, trauma, personality disorders, or neurodiversity) and highly complex needs. Multidisciplinary collaboration should be emphasised to provide holistic and appropriate care for these individuals.
The service will need to operate using the “one front door” approach. This will mean that the partnerships, processes and approach when picking up referrals for individuals will need to be aligned to support a reduction in people being bounced around to different services and no rejected referrals.
The service will take a pro-active role in supporting wider organisations with this client group. This could include but not limited to; primary care, mental Health teams, acute services, community care, in-patient services and the VCSE.
Contract term: 3 years + 2-year extension option, starting 1 April 2026.
