Technical requirements: The London Borough of Hackney (the Council) is inviting tenders from suitably experienced and qualified providers for the Provision of Lunch Clubs Service.
The Council is seeking on or more Lead Providers to manage and deliver this service to Hackney residents aged over 55. The service will be divided into 2 lots delivering to culturally specific and generic users of Lunch Clubs within Hackney. The Lots will be awarded to the successful bidder(s) and it is anticipated that each contract will be fully operational by November 2018 and will continue for a period of 3 years from that date with an option to extend for up to two (2) years (1 year plus 1 year) unless terminated in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Contract.
Provision of Lunch Club service to culturally specific lunch clubs within LB Hackney. Over 60 % of adults aged 55-84 in Hackney are overweight or obese, with rates peaking for both men and women between 65 -74. Overweight and obesity pose a major challenge to the current and future health of the Hackney population. The Hackney Obesity Strategic Partnership, chaired by the Chief Executive, sets the strategic direction for a whole system approach to tackling obesity. The Lunch Clubs Service has a clear role to play in contributing to this priority by embedding a healthy focus into its future provision at both a nutritional and physical activity level.
As a result LBH Commissioners have brought all lunch club services together under 2 lots, with a Lead Provider per contract, to deliver efficiencies and a more service-user focused and flexible service model. The Lead Providers shall be contracted to deliver either Culturally Specific (Lot 1) or Generic (Lot 2) lunch clubs in the London Borough of Hackney. Details of expected volumes can be found in specification.
The purpose of these Lots is to recognise differing needs that will be addressed by these distinct groups and to ensure appropriate focus and resources are given by both the Lead Provider and Lunch Club Providers to meet them.
The initial contract period is for three years (36 months) with an option to extend for up to two (2) years (1 year plus 1 year) unless terminated in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Contract.
