        "description": "UPDATE:  Innovation in Obesity Pathways - Weight Management and Obesity Service Procurement  - Surrey Heartlands ICB\nSurrey Heartlands Integrated Care Board (ICB) wishes to update the market on our recent engagement regarding innovation in weight management and obesity pathways. As set out in our public information, we prepared a response to the Obesity Pathway Innovation Programme (OPIP)-a national innovation competition jointly funded by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and Eli Lilly and Company Limited. \nFollowing the outcome of the funding competition, Surrey Heartlands ICB has been unsuccessful in being awarded OPIP funding. Consequently, we will not be publishing a tender opportunity in relation to this initiative at this time. \nWe are grateful to organisations that participated in market engagement and shared insights. Should future commissioning opportunities arise in this area, we will ensure updates are shared via Find a Tender.\nNHS Surrey Heartlands ICB"
