NHS Healthier You

Following extensive Preliminary Market Engagement with suppliers and a route to market assessment, NHS England (NHSE) is actively exploring scope to commission a range of behavioural support for obesity prescribing and diabetes prevention services, known as NHS Healthier You, through the competitive process under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Subject to final decisions, NHSE is intending to commence a competitive procurement process in early 2026 to award supplier contracts to deliver multiple behavioural support services to be brought together under the NHS Healthier You branding to each integrated care board (ICB) or ICB cluster in England. Scope

Further to previous Preliminary Market Engagement notices (2025/S 000-052155 and 2025/S 000-021802), the proposed procurement of NHS Healthier You will comprise:

Diabetes prevention: a 9-month behaviour support intervention for people at risk of type 2 diabetes. For more information visit: https://www.england.nhs.uk/diabetes/diabetes-prevention/

Behavioural support for obesity prescribing: a 9-month behaviour support intervention for people prescribed weight-loss medication in primary care. Type 2 diabetes path to remission: a 3-month total diet replacement intervention followed by a 9-month behaviour support intervention for people living with type 2 diabetes. For more information visit: https://www.england.nhs.uk/diabetes/treatment-care/diabetes-remission/

Long-term conditions prevention pilot: a pilot 9-month behaviour support intervention for people living with hypertension. This intervention will be piloted over 3 years in 8 ICB areas (to be confirmed) with an option to expand wider as evidence emerges. Suppliers will need the capability and capacity to provide the full suite of services to an ICB or ICB cluster (or group of ICB’s), offering eligible participants a choice of group based on one to one based in-person services, group based remote services delivered via video conference, or a digitally delivered one to one or independently accessed service provided through a web browser or a mobile application. The Type 2 diabetes path to remission intervention will only be delivered on a one-to-one basis. Timescales
