Low Calorie Diets Programme

The NHS Diabetes Programme, a joint partnership between NHS England and NHS Improvement, Public Health England and Diabetes UK, wish to procure a maximum of 10 providers to pilot at scale delivery models for the use of Total Diet Replacement (TDR) products alongside a 12 month package of support provided in either face to face group or one to one sessions or using digital/remote methods to eligible participants with Type 2 diabetes. Each provider will work with one of 10 ICS/STP sites delivering the intervention including 12 weeks of TDR products to around 500 participants.

The contracts will initially be for a period of 3 years (referrals accepted for 2 years) with an option for these to be extended for a further 24 months subject to the pilot's outcomes. NHS England reserves the right to increase the number of behavioural interventions to be delivered per annum. The numbers of behavioural interventions may vary during the term of the contract and these figures are estimates only.
