## Summary

Sheffield City Council is initiating a tender for the "Soft Market Test: NHS Health Checks," focused on the health and social work services industry. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 27th October 2020. This contract, valued at £925,000 over five years, will commence on 1st June 2021, as a new service provider is sought to deliver the NHS Health Check programme for the city after a previous contract extension due to the pandemic.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in healthcare services. Businesses with experience in delivering public health initiatives, especially those adept at managing contracts that involve subcontracting, will find this opportunity aligns well with their capabilities. Engaging in this procurement process could enhance their portfolio and establish a long-term partnership with the Sheffield City Council.

## Notice

From 2012 to 2017 the programme in Sheffield was delivered solely by and within GP practices according to former Local Enhanced Service agreements between Public Health and individual GP practices that novated to the Council in 2013. In 2017 an open tender process was undertaken and a single provider commissioned to deliver the programme from to 31st August 2020. Due to the current pandemic, a 9 month contract extension has been agreed with the current provider. This will expire on 31st May 2021. Sheffield City Council is now seeking to commission a single service provider to deliver the NHS Health Check programme for the whole City that may itself sub-contract with another provider(s). The contract amount is PS185,000 per year for a period of 5 years. The contract will commence on 1st June 2021.
