Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council procured an NHS Health Check service for the Navenby Practice Code Area in Lincolnshire. The service covers the core elements of each check: cardiovascular risk assessment, risk awareness and risk management, followed by lifestyle information and advice when results are communicated. Additional testing and clinical follow-up remain the responsibility of primary care. People assessed as having a 20% or higher ten-year cardiovascular disease risk move to the high-risk register and become ineligible for a further NHS Health Check. The wider Lincolnshire programme has 245,950 eligible people, with invitations planned across five-year cycles. Contracted providers work to invitation targets based on their patient populations, including annual and monthly targets.

The procurement has reached contract award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using the Most Suitable Provider process without a prior call for competition. The contract was awarded to The Welby Group, an SME, with an award date of 16 June 2026. The contract was signed on 11 June 2026 and runs from 16 June 2026 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend for a further five years. Its lifetime value is £130,925.20. Evaluation considered quality and innovation (25%), value (25%), integration, collaboration and service sustainability (15%), improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice (25%), and social value (10%). One bid was recorded.

This award indicates demand for providers able to deliver NHS Health Checks in a local primary-care practice area, rather than only conventional clinical treatment. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to carry out structured cardiovascular risk assessment, explain risk clearly, provide practical lifestyle advice and manage results communication appropriately. It would also need sound arrangements with primary care for additional testing and clinical follow-up, including handling people who move onto the high-risk register. Providers should be able to plan invitations and completed checks against population-based annual and monthly targets, monitor activity, and demonstrate access, health-inequality and patient-choice improvements. Evidence of collaboration, service sustainability, quality, innovation and social value would be important, alongside the operational capacity to deliver at SME scale.
