SWL - North Croydon Healthy Lifestyle Behaviours- Pre-Market Engagement Questionnaire

Description

NHS South West London Integrated Care Board (SWL ICB) is undertaking pre-market engagement to inform the potential commissioning of a NHS High-Risk Communities Targeted Lifestyle Behaviour Service for North Croydon. The proposed service will deliver targeted, evidence-based interventions focused on weight management, smoking cessation and alcohol abstinence for residents at highest risk of preventable long-term conditions and premature mortality. The service will focus specifically on high-risk populations living in North Croydon, including individuals living in areas of socioeconomic deprivation, people from ethnic groups with elevated cardiometabolic risk at lower BMI thresholds, and individuals with severe mental illness or existing cardiovascular risk factors. The intention is to complement the existing universal prevention offer commissioned by Croydon Council by providing a targeted NHS-funded programme aimed at populations with the greatest unmet need and potential for measurable health impact. The service will deliver structured behavioural interventions, targeted outreach, and coordinated referral pathways with primary care, voluntary sector partners, and existing public health services to ensure residents can access the most appropriate support and that duplication of services is avoided. The programme will contribute to improving cardiometabolic health outcomes, reducing smoking prevalence and alcohol-related harm, and addressing health inequalities in line with NHS Long Term Plan prevention priorities and the Core20PLUS5 approach. The total indicative financial envelope for this service is £184,539 per annum.
