Decision details

The Cabinet will be asked to approve proposals relating to the commissioning of Healthy Weight Services via a contract with an organisation with expertise in developing innovative healthy weight initiatives and engaging with communities, which would support local residents to achieve healthy weight by testing out interventions and evaluating different models of prevention, culminating in the production of a sustainable, system wide, all-age, ‘Healthy Weight Action Plan’ for the Borough.

Cabinet resolved to:

(i)  Agree that the Council proceeds with the procurement of a contract for a Community Healthy Weight Development Partner in accordance with the strategy set out in the report; and

(ii)  Delegate authority to the Strategic Director, Children and Adults, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Health Integration and the Head of Legal, to conduct the procurement and award and enter into the contract and all other necessary or ancillary agreements, including periods of extension, to fully implement and effect the proposals.
