- Lot 1 · #1Individual lot title not publishedplannedPublished valueNot publishedThe programme, which is currently being piloted in 10 ICSs, has been developed in response to the findings of two research trials, DiRECT and DROPLET, which produced encouraging results for the impact of total diet replacement, delivered as part of a behaviour change intervention programme, on weight, HbA1c and in some cases remission of Type 2 diabetes.It is anticipated that the expansion of the programme will support the provision of an additional 5,000 service user places, by expanding the offer to further Integrated Care System (ICS) sites.A full evaluation will take place alongside the national programme to inform future commissioning decisions about the national provision of such interventions.Potential providers are encouraged to attend a market information session to hear more detail about current plans for the programme expansion, and to share insight to further inform these plans.The event is to be held virtually on Wednesday 16 June 2021, 10am – 12 noon, via Microsoft Teams.
