London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (LBBD) Healthy Weight Service 

The London Borough of Barking & Dagenham are looking to commission a development and delivery partner to work collaboratively with the council, it’s partners and communities to co-produce new ways of supporting healthy weight for many more people in the borough. 

The selected partner will act as an enabler in this process of change – using their expertise in engaging with communities, networks, VCFS partners and other organisations, as well as their experience of developing innovative healthy weight initiatives, to create a new system-level, community-led approach to improving healthy weight in Barking & Dagenham.

We know that that this development will be iterative and based on community insights so whilst we are clear about the outcomes we want to see and we want to move quickly to provide more support, our approach is very much about listening, testing and learning to deliver effective, accessible local initiatives that work and are sustainable. As such the selected provider must be willing and able to work flexibly & collaboratively with us on that basis.

We recognise that this is an innovative approach and that no single organisation may be able to achieve this alone, so we would very much welcome consortia bids that can demonstrate the range of skills, knowledge and experience we need to deliver this change.

Further information and tender documents are available on our e-tendering portal.

Any questions regarding the tender should be addressed through the portal in the messaging section.

Closing date 12 noon on Friday 31st January 2025.

Development of the Galleon Arts Centre

The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (LBBD) is one of five Priority Places in London, as designated by Arts Council England (ACE). Priority Places are areas where investment and engagement in the arts have historically been low, yet significant opportunities exist for impactful cultural development. This project seeks to strengthen Barking and Dagenham’s cultural infrastructure by establishing a new arts centre - Galleon Arts Centre - to aid the borough’s cultural development and support creative practitioners. 

Following the closure of the arts centre under previous ownership in 2023, the Arts Council and Barking and Dagenham Council have supported the continuation of a core cultural programme. The next phase of development will build on this to fully re-activate the centre as a vibrant, financially sustainable space that supports access to cultural activities for local people and acts as a resource for the creative and artistic community in the borough. 

The Council intends to award the contract to a supplier who meet the council’s requirements
