Description

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) announced an ambitious £100m package of measures to improve the health of the nation by empowering people to make healthier choices and to support those living with obesity to move towards and maintain a healthier weight. As part of this funding, and given the health policy context set out above, we are looking to develop and test an incentives-based approach to positive health behaviour change. Our ambition is that this would support healthier lives and Government's ambitious commitment to tackle obesity and obesity-related illnesses, reducing pressure on the NS as we emerge from the pandemic and enabling us to 'build back' better as a more resilient, healthier, fair society.

Other Information

We are looking to pilot a digital incentive scheme to evidence and help understand, in practice, wat works and what does not in the adult population (18+) in England. We expect the supplier to gather user data on behaviour change as a core part of the pilot. This market engagement day supports the official launch of the tendering exercise for the Health Incentives Pilot which launched at 12pm on Wednesday 7 July (https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/015670-2021). The event will provide an overview of the service requirements, timeframes for the tender, and an opportunity for any interested parties to join up as part of a partnership. The engagement event will be held on Wednesday 14 July from 11:00 - 13:00. To register your attendance, please email healthincentives@dhsc.gov.uk with contact details for all attendees. Dial-in details will be sent out in due course.
