Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care Board is initiating a procurement process titled "Prevention in Primary Care" within the services industry category, with a specific focus on health services (CPV: 85100000). This contract aims to deliver two targeted health initiatives addressing rising rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and related health conditions in Surrey Heartlands. Scheduled to run from 1 March 2026 to 31 December 2026, this project includes implementing health checks for individuals under 40 and specialised CVD clinics, offering significant focus on groups facing health inequalities. The tender stage has progressed with updated contract values indicating financial commitments of £125,000 for Healthchecks Clinics and £120,000 for CVD Treatment Clinics. The procurement method adheres to the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), bypassing the usual provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses accustomed to delivering health services, particularly those with experience in preventative healthcare and managing chronic conditions like CVD and diabetes. Companies possessing capabilities in innovative service delivery, data management, collaboration within the Integrated Care Systems, and engagement with high-risk demographics will be well-positioned to compete. The procurement necessitates providers that can access patient lists and work collaboratively with GP practices to ensure intervention success. Given the objectives of improving health outcomes and addressing inequalities, firms aligning with NHS objectives and demonstrating a solid track record in community health initiatives are likely to gain competitive advantage in this process. The procurement process will emphasise service sustainability, compliance with national healthcare standards, and the ability to integrate within existing clinical frameworks.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Short-term delivery of two targeted initiatives which support local and national programmes of work relating to prevention, specifically to CVD. Activity must be delivered between 1st March 2026 - 31st December 2026. A rising prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and obesity in Surrey Heartlands, with significant health inequalities affecting deprived and high-risk groups. There is a growing number of people living with major illness, projected to increase by over a third by 2040. The working-age population (20-69 years) is particularly affected, with poor treatment-to-target rates for CVD and related conditions. Early identification and intervention are needed to reduce acute healthcare demand and improve long-term health outcomes, especially among underserved and priority groups to support a reduction in health inequalities. Service outcomes: * Improved early detection and management of CVD, diabetes, and CKD * Reduction in modifiable risk factors (smoking, poor diet, inactivity). * Improved health outcomes and reduced health inequalities. * Increased treatment-to-target rates for CVD and cholesterol * Enhanced quality of life for patients with CVD, diabetes and obesity, measured through patient-reported outcome measures. * Cost savings through reduced hospital admissions and improved disease management. * Positive return on investment for preventative interventions Service Element 1: Healthchecks Healthchecks to be carried out on registered patients who are; - Aged 25-39 living in one of the Surrey Heartlands five priority neighbourhoods - Aged 18-24 in Higher Education who are from minority ethnic communities and in one of the Surrey Heartlands five priority areas Service Element 2: CVD Prevention Additional Enhanced access clinics to be established to specifically target the working age population who are not currently treated to target for cholesterol management (CVDP003). Payment: Service Element 1: Healthchecks Clinics in Under 40's: PS40 per health check Service Element 2: CVD Treatment to Target Clinics: PS369.56 / 2hr Session or PS739.12 per 4-hour session. There will be no additional payments for activity over the stated thresholds. This Service should be provided to all eligible patients defined within the service specification including any registered patients who are housebound and requiring treatment. Funding includes work associated with home visits or community events Aims: * To deliver targeted health checks and preventative interventions for CVD, diabetes, and obesity. * To support primary care in improving access, outcomes and experience for high-risk and underserved populations.

Priority Neighbourhoods: Hooley, Merstham & Netherne; Westborough; Bellfields and Slyfield; Canalside; Stanwell North The targeted work will be defined by specific time and volume parameters, to identify service gaps and needs. It will assess the benefits of large-scale models to inform the future design of Surrey's prevention services. The project requires access to GP practice patient lists, existing collaborative relationships, and established financial pathways to support its implementation.
