Summary of the contracting process

Stoke on Trent City Council is initiating a public procurement process for the NHS Health Checks Community Outreach programme, aimed at assessing the risks of cardiovascular diseases in adults aged 40-74 in Stoke-on-Trent. The programme, which is a statutory service, intends to expand its delivery beyond general practice settings to larger community outreach, focusing on areas with low coverage and high health needs. The process is currently at the planning stage, with the preliminary market engagement notice published on 18th July 2025 and a deadline for expressions of interest set for 28th July 2025. The procurement, falling under the health services industry category, will require providers to host approximately 30 events per year across the region of UKG23, with substantial opportunities concluding in 2026 and possible renewals extending to 2031.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with experience in community health engagement and referral pathways. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially encouraged to participate, leveraging their local community ties and flexible service delivery capabilities. Businesses that can effectively host community events and follow up with participants for further lifestyle interventions will have a competitive edge. The procurement process involves a light-touch regime and includes a framework agreement approach, ideally suited for businesses looking to establish long-term partnerships with public health authorities.

Notice Title

NHS Health Checks Community Outreach

Notice Description

Description: The NHS Health Check programme (HC) is a 5-yearly contract with health care for adults aged 40-74 without a diagnosis of heart disease, kidney disease, stroke, or type 2 diabetes to manage Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors (CVDRFs) for those conditions. A Health Check consists of an assessment of an individual's risks of developing a set of diseases in the future. This requires collecting a range of health information such as height, weight, smoking history, physical activity, blood pressure, and arranging for a cholesterol blood test to be performed. This is a statutory service legislated in 2012. In Stoke-on-Trent, the programme was suspended over the pandemic and continues to recover following pandemic disruption but is unlikely to achieve the national target of health check delivery to 75% of the eligible population. In Stoke-on-Trent, the programme is delivered exclusively by general practice as a universal offer. We are looking to expand the delivery of the programme and are therefore, seeking Providers who can deliver NHS Health Checks in non-healthcare settings, working with communities and using a targeted approach to reach areas with a low coverage, high health needs, or low uptake of offers. Providers will be expected to: * Host approximately 30 community events across the city per year. * Deliver 30-200 health checks at each event so that approximately 3,000 health checks will be delivered within this community outreach service per year. * Maintain their own record system and complete an agreed data template to be shared with the Locality Authority and the individuals registered general practice. As many of the benefits of Health Checks are realised through follow on services, Providers must demonstrate: * Strong knowledge and experience of referral pathways. * Relationships or the capability to develop relationships with communities to deliver health checks in settings that will reach target populations. * Flexibility in delivery approaches to encourage uptake of the health check, for example through utilising and continuously improving varied invitation methods. * Capacity to follow up with individuals requiring lifestyle interventions. To register your interest in delivering the service please email Kirsty.Davies@stoke.gov.uk by 12noon on 28th July 2025.
