To award the contract to provide a community
based service to improve the health and well-being of overweight
and obese adults by supporting them to achieve and maintain a
healthier weight and improve physical fitness through making
appropriate and sustainable lifestyle changes to their eating and
physical activity habits.
RESOLVED that the Adult Weight
Management Service contract commencing
1st April 2018 is awarded Tenderer A.
This contract will ensure that residents of Bracknell Forest can access a T2 Adult Weight Management service that is focussed on achieving the best healthy weight outcomes for people.
Not procuring a service would leave Bracknell Forest as the only Unitary Authority in the region without funded a weight management service for obese residents. Given the high cost and uncertain quality of many commercial programmes, this would result in many people unnecessarily remaining obese.
