CONFIRMATION OF YOUR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST IS THEREFORE IMPORTANT. - Any responses and information that are shared through this pre-market engagement exercise may be used by the ICB to inform commissioning and potential procurement strategies. ### SERVICE SUMMARY NHS South West London Integrated Care Board (SWL ICB) is undertaking pre-market engagement to inform the potential commissioning of a South Croydon Targeted Weight Management and Wellbeing Behaviours Service. The proposed service comprises three locality-focused prevention programmes designed to address the differing population health needs within South Croydon: - Targeted Weight Management Prevention & Empowerment (South East Croydon) - supporting adults at elevated cardiometabolic risk to achieve sustainable behaviour change and clinically meaningful weight loss. - Carer Strain Support Prevention & Empowerment (South West Croydon) - providing targeted support to unpaid carers experiencing high levels of caring strain. - Loneliness & Social Connection Prevention & Empowerment (South West Croydon) - supporting older residents experiencing significant loneliness or social isolation. The service design reflects differing population health drivers across South Croydon localities. In South East Croydon, higher levels of adult obesity and physical inactivity create a need for targeted weight management support. In South West Croydon, the older population profile and prevalence of long-term conditions create increased demand for carer support and interventions that reduce social isolation. The service will focus on defined high-risk cohorts, including residents living in areas of socioeconomic deprivation, individuals from ethnic groups with elevated cardiometabolic risk at lower BMI thresholds, people living with severe mental illness, unpaid carers experiencing high caring strain, and older residents experiencing loneliness. The programmes will deliver structured behavioural interventions (typically 8-12 weeks), targeted outreach, and coordinated referral pathways with primary care, voluntary sector partners and existing public health services. The service is intended to complement rather than duplicate the Croydon Council commissioned Adult Healthy Behaviours Service, which provides a universal lifestyle offer across the borough. The service will contribute to reducing preventable morbidity and supporting residents to maintain independence by improving cardiometabolic health, reducing carer strain and addressing loneliness. Providers will be expected to demonstrate measurable outcomes using validated indicators such as clinically significant weight loss, reductions in carer strain and improvements in loneliness and mental wellbeing. The total indicative financial envelope for this service is £169,430 per annum covering delivery of all three programme components. Further detail regarding the proposed cohorts, service scope, delivery expectations and outcome measures is provided in the Draft Service Specification attached as Appendix A. ### System Alignment and Strategic Context Croydon operates within a collaborative health and care system, with both NHS and Local Authority partners contributing to the prevention and health improvement agenda. The London Borough of Croydon Public Health team is progressing plans to procure a borough-wide, universal Adult Healthy Lifestyle Service. This service is intended to provide broad access to weight management, smoking cessation and alcohol reduction for Croydon adult residents. In parallel, the NHS-commissioned Targeted Weight Management and Wellbeing Behaviours Service for South Croydon is being designed as a targeted intervention, focused on residents at higher risk of poor health outcomes, in line with Core20PLUS5 principles and local population health intelligence. These two offers are intended to be complementary and mutually reinforcing, rather than duplicative. The expectation is that providers will: - Understand the distinction between universal and targeted provision for weight management - Actively collaborate with Public Health-commissioned services - Establish clear referral, signposting, and escalation pathways between weight management services - Contribute to a coherent, system-wide prevention offer that maximises reach, engagement, and outcomes Providers should therefore consider how their delivery model will align with, and add value to, the wider Croydon prevention landscape, including working in partnership to ensure residents receive the most appropriate level of support based on need. Commissioners recognise that the multi-component nature of this service may be well suited to partnership or consortium delivery; therefore, providers are invited to indicate whether they consent to their details being shared with other registered organisations to facilitate discussions on potential partnership opportunities. ### RESPONSE INSTRUCTIONS Organisations should ensure that they have read the supporting information provided prior to responding, noting that the information and any intentions shared may be subject to change (in both form and content) should the ICB decide to procure a new service. Please provide informative, yet succinct responses. Please do NOT include additional marketing documentation.
