Published requirement description

North Northamptonshire Council have appointed a lead Service Provider to deliver a comprehensive Integrated Healthy Lifestyles Service (IHLS) in North Northamptonshire, with elements of subcontracting permitted to support residents to make sustainable changes to the key modifiable risk factors across the adult life course, enabling them to live longer in better health, whilst achieving a reduction in inequalities between communities.

The service will seek to address key modifiable risk factors that contribute to preventable ill-health.

The service will include a range of interventions organised into three core pillars:

Pillar 1: a universal self-help pillar comprising of health promotion

campaigns and digital self-help tools

Pillar 2: a behaviour change pillar providing health coaching support to address the in-scope risk factors

Pillar 3: a structured treatment pillar targeting reducing inequalities through provision of community falls prevention, an enhanced behaviour change support, and a targeted NHS Health Checks programme in workplaces and specific communities.
