Partner with the platform that meets people in the aisle.
ScanSmart partners with NHS commissioners, GP networks, schools, councils, community organisations, and foundation funders. Borough-level audit programmes, food-literacy curriculum, NHS HealthStore pathway, evidence-led commissioning. Built where the gap between “what the population is told to eat” and “what the population can actually find on the shelf” is widest.
Different institutions, one infrastructure.
ScanSmart serves five distinct partner audiences. Each has its own conversation, its own commissioning shape, its own evidence requirements. The underlying decode engine and I500 corpus is the same; what changes is how the work is framed, who pays, and what the deliverable looks like.
NHS commissioners + GP networks
Diabetes prevention. Hypertension management. Borough-level diet evidence in high-risk postcodes. Pathway: DTAC V2 (in progress) → NICE evaluation → NHS HealthStore listing (Q2–Q3 2027 target). Working with: Lambeth pilot, GP networks via Health Innovation Network introductions, Diabetes UK conversation lines.
HIN AHSN partnerships
Health Innovation Networks (formerly AHSNs) are the natural channel for NHS-adjacent commissioning. ScanSmart’s HIN BattlePlan v3.0 (March 2026) is the working document. Specific introductions in flight via the I500 researcher route.
Headteachers + food-literacy programmes
The KiP app + Food Literacy curriculum work is designed for primary & secondary deployment. The Two-Layer Literacy Rule (Bible §13.2A) means the curriculum reaches every reading level. Partner: pilot schools in South London targeted; Food Literacy Pilot Proposal v1.0 ready.
Council policy officers + commissioners
Borough audit programmes. Commissioner-led research on the relationship between independent shop networks and household-diet outcomes. Lambeth Business Case v1.2 ready. Borough Audit Operations Manual v1.0 ships the methodology.
Community organisations + grassroots networks
The I500 community audit programme is built with shop owners (per Appendix B Shop Participation Agreement) and trained community auditors. Partnerships with food banks, mutual-aid networks, faith-community food programmes, mosque/church/temple grocery initiatives.
Foundation funders + grant-makers
Mission-aligned with diabetes prevention, health inequalities, food literacy, behaviour change, UPF critique. Specific funder fit per the 29 April assessment: Innovate UK Smart Grants, Health Foundation Q Community, NIHR i4i Connect, Esmée Fairbairn, Trust for London, Joseph Rowntree.
Three shapes, one chassis.
Shape 1 — Commissioned audit programme
For NHS commissioners + councils. ScanSmart performs a borough-level audit of independent-shop food provision, mainstream supermarket coverage, and household behavioural patterns. Deliverable: a data report + dashboard + recommendations the commissioning body can use to direct intervention spend. Lambeth Business Case v1.2 is the template.
Shape 2 — Curriculum / programme partnership
For schools, food-literacy programmes, GP-network patient education. KiP + the Food Literacy curriculum + facilitator training. Built to be deployed inside an existing programme structure, not to compete with it. Standard package + custom adaptation.
Shape 3 — Foundation grant + research collaboration
For foundation funders + academic research partners. Co-designed grant programmes that fund specific extensions of the I500, Decision Record, or Knowledge Library. Academic research collaborations need a UK-research-institution PI — we’re actively building those relationships (BBSRC Diet & Health, Imperial / KCL / LSHTM food-systems groups).
Citation-rich, not authority-claiming.
ScanSmart cites peer-reviewed evidence; it doesn’t make medical claims of its own. The Knowledge Library carries the citation base — UPF / brain / cognitive (Milbank 2026, Neurology 2024, UK Biobank 2025), behaviour change (Change4Life BCT taxonomy gap), bliss point + food engineering, salt + hypertension, sugar + diabetes / metabolic syndrome.
For partner conversations, the Knowledge Library entries can be referenced directly (/library →). The Decision Record (live since 29 April 2026) is the quantitative behavioural-change evidence base; it grows weekly. The Weekly Supermarket Checkout, Decoded (/checkout →) is the public publication that makes the methodology visible to commissioner-side audiences.
Tell us about your programme.
One paragraph from you about what you’re working on and what you think we could do together. We’ll come back with what fits, what doesn’t, and what the next step would be. Realistic response time: 3–5 business days for partner inquiries; faster for live commissioning conversations.
