    Brief

    Trafford Council's Public Health team is conducting soft market testing to shape future commissioning of adult healthy weight support services. This is an exploratory engagement (non-binding) with potential providers from all sectors, including voluntary, community, faith and social enterprises. The council seeks input on realistic, evidence-based, and affordable service delivery models that: operate within constrained local authority budgets; align with Trafford's strategic priorities; follow current NICE guidance on overweight and obesity management (NICE NG246); and provide local value without duplicating national services. This is an opportunity to test ideas, assumptions, and feasibility with open dialogue—Trafford is not presenting a fixed service model and welcomes provider expertise. Participation does not commit providers to any future procurement process. To access this opportunity, register as a supplier on www.The-Chest.org.uk, login, find opportunities, select The Chest portal and Trafford Council, locate reference DN820807, register for the opportunity, and download relevant documents.
