What is being bought

Published requirement description

Warwickshire County Council (the Council) is seeking a single provider to deliver an integrated Healthy lifestyle service to provide support to Warwickshire residents, those registered with a Warwickshire GP (and those working and studying in Warwickshire for stop smoking support), to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. This will be through information, advice and guidance, self-help tools (such as NHS Weight Loss App), and interventions underpinned by evidence and behaviour change techniques delivered via a health coach model. The objective is to ensure service users make sustainable positive behaviour changes and therefore reduce their risk of developing long-term health conditions.
