A further amount (c£4m) was offered to a much smaller number of local authorities to develop and test new approaches to - providing behavioural weight management services for children and young people, and - test approaches to delivering extended brief interventions - proactive follow-up with motivational support and onward referral to weight management services children identified as living with overweight and obesity and their families The Department is seeking to commission evaluations which will bring together a range of existing evidence and conduct new enquiries into these funding programmes. - Expectations of the supplier These evaluations are being put to the market as two lots so that suppliers may apply for both or either of the evaluations. The budget for each evaluation is £30K which reflects the short duration of the projects to be evaluated and the availability of data and other evaluative research which can be drawn on and augmented. Final reports for the adult weight management service evaluation will be required in Spring 2022 whilst the child weight management evaluation will need to report in Autumn 2022. ### Suggestions and queries We welcome any suggestions or queries in regards to this notice via email: The Invitation to Tender will be available from late September.
