people with learning disabilities; people with special educational needs and disabilities; and mental health service users. \n•\tBuild capacity within our workforce and communities to support sustained healthy lifestyles and self-management.\n•\tEmbed a whole-system, data-driven approach to tackling obesity as a major driver of long-term conditions\n•\tEnable real-world evaluation and learning that can inform national policy and future service commissioning.\nThe Dorset Model proposes to:\n•\tRecruit participants to the programme by pro-actively case finding through our Dorset Insight and Intelligence Service (DiiS) and through trusted people and places, making every contact count. \n•\tOffer a personalised multi-disciplinary team conversation, which recognises the lived experience of participants, and provides a tailored care plan, with support from a lead professional or coach.\n•\tDeliver personalised pathways to health weight through evidence-informed and co-produced interventions. This might include; in-person groups, remote groups, digital technologies (platforms/wearables), pharmacological and in-service pathways, for individuals, families and carers, and communities.\n•\tIntegrate new care pathways and interventions with existing system weight management services, to support both sustainable healthy weight on discharge for individuals and better access to standard care for family, carer, and community members.\n•\tBuild knowledge, skills and confidence in our health, social care and VCSE workforce, including paid and unpaid roles. \nNHS Dorset anticipates procuring suitably qualified provider(s) to:\n(1)\tA Prime Provider to act as System Integrator for the Programme, who may choose to deliver some or all elements of the new service(s).\n(2)\tOrganisation(s) to deliver new services, including digital, behavioural, lifestyle and health improvement, with individuals, families, carers and communities.\n(3)\tOrganisation(s) to deliver workforce development." } ], "items": [ { "id": "1", "additionalClassifications": [ { "releaseID": "046776-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-21T09:20:59+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": [ { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "85323000", "description": "Community health services" } ] } ], "deliveryAddresses": [ { "region": [ { "releaseID": "046776-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-21T09:20:59+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "UKK24" } ], "country": [ { "releaseID": "046776-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-21T09:20:59+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "GB" } ], "countryName": [ { "releaseID": "046776-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-21T09:20:59+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "United Kingdom" } ] }, { "region": [ { "releaseID": "046776-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-21T09:20:59+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "UKK25" } ], "country": [ { "releaseID": "046776-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-21T09:20:59+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "GB" } ], "countryName": [ { "releaseID": "046776-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-21T09:20:59+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "United Kingdom" } ] } ], "relatedLot": [ { "releaseID": "046776-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-21T09:20:59+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "1" } ] } ], "mainProcurementCategory": [ { "releaseID": "046776-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-21T09:20:59+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "services" } ], "lots": [ { "id": "1", "contractPeriod": { "startDate": [ { "releaseID": "046776-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-21T09:20:59+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "2026-09-01T00:00:00+01:00" } ], "endDate": [ { "releaseID": "046776-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-21T09:20:59+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "2029-03-31T23:59:59+01:00" } ] }, "status": [ { "releaseID": "046776-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-21T09:20:59+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "planning" } ] } ], "status": [ { "releaseID": "046776-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-21T09:20:59+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "planning" } ] }, "language": [ { "releaseID": "046776-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-21T09:20:59+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "en" } ], "extensions": [ { "releaseID": "046776-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-21T09:20:59+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": [ "https://standard.open-contracting.org/profiles/eu/latest/en/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_amendment_rationale_classifications_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_budget_breakdown_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_contract_completion_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_documentation_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_pagination_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_suitability_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/portaledcahn/ocds_Links_extension/main/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cabinetoffice/ocds_uk_extension/main/extension.json" ] } ] } } ] }
