## Summary

The Department of Health & Social Care (DHSC), located at 39 Victoria Street, London, invites potential collaborators to partake in a strategic engagement programme aimed at reducing premature deaths from heart disease and stroke by 25% over the next ten years. This initiative falls under the Cardiovascular Disease Partnership Opportunities, targeting voluntary, community and social enterprise sectors, alongside private sectors. The engagement, primarily focusing on reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) among deprived communities, is currently in the planning stage, with interested parties required to submit their collaboration proposals by 9th March 2026. The engagement programme affords an avenue for partners to contribute in a non-monetary capacity towards enhancing preventive, diagnostic, management, and rehabilitation efforts for CVD.

This opportunity invites contributions not just financially, but also through innovative approaches like joint public awareness campaigns, donation of goods and services, and access to networks. Businesses involved in health services, pharmaceutical products, or wellness environments are well-placed to contribute and collaborate in this effort. The initiatives span several industry classifications including medical equipment, pharmaceutical products, and health services. Enterprises that can provide expertise in community health services and sporting services, or offer resources in promoting healthier living and early detection of disease risk factors, will find valuable growth opportunities in collaborating with the DHSC. This collaboration is open to diverse business models that can support the strategic health goals outlined by the Government, thereby fostering extended business relationships with a central government authority.

## Notice

To support the publication of England's Cardiovascular Disease Modern Service Framework the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and NHS England are exploring collaboration opportunities with stakeholders from the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) and private sectors interested in supporting the Government's ambition to reduce premature deaths from heart disease and stroke by 25% within a decade. We are asking interested parties to submit the below form detailing their proposed offer of collaboration. We are especially interested in initiatives focused on the prevention and management of heart disease and stroke, particularly in the most deprived groups. This includes initiatives around supporting people to lead healthier lives for example through healthy food environments and physical activity, public awareness of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its risk factors, diagnosis of CVD and CVD risk, and rehabilitation.

### Planning Information

Background and introduction
DHSC is seeking to engage with interested parties in the VCSE and private sectors that can help us to reduce premature deaths from heart disease and stroke by 25% within a decade.
CVD is the leading cause of death in the UK. Almost three quarters of cases are due to modifiable risk factors and rates of premature mortality from heart disease and stroke are higher among those living in the most deprived communities. There is a major opportunity in enabling patients to exercise greater control over their health through supportive environments, in early detection of conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease and raised cholesterol, and in proactive management of risk, particularly in more deprived groups. 
By strengthening prevention, enhancing timely diagnosis and management, and ensuring high quality treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care for those who develop CVD, the system can meaningfully improve outcomes and help more people live longer, healthier lives. 
The focus of any future collaboration will include, but is not limited to, the government's ambition to reduce premature deaths from heart disease and stroke by 25% within a decade. 
This is not a public procurement or sponsorship opportunity and will not result in the award of a “public contract” (within the meaning of the Procurement Act 2023). DHSC is specifically looking to collaborate on a “contribution in kind” basis and wishes to hear from interested parties who can help us with:
• Supporting people to lead healthier lives, for example through healthy food environments and physical activity
• Raising awareness of CVD and its risk factors, including links to cardiometabolic and renal conditions.
• Improving case-finding of CVD risk factors like high-blood pressure and raised cholesterol, for example by offering checks in suitable locations
• Community-based rehabilitation opportunities
Engagement process and deadline
Those wishing to participate in the engagement process should register their interest by completing and submitting the questionnaire at the following link: https://forms.office.com/e/ywSUqzvRpk. Further guidance on how to complete the questionnaire can be downloaded from the link here: https://atamis-1928.my.salesforce.com/sfc/p/0O000000rwim/a/Pz00000Hg0BV/oowzy043hxzGIHDLz8X1EgKD8ZIF4grT.xFN5_FSMec 
The closing date for responses is on: 12pm on Friday 6 March. Responses received after this time will not be accepted.
We will be using a fair and non-discriminatory evaluation method to select interested parties to enter into discussions with regarding a potential collaboration agreement, following the close of the market engagement process.
DHSC intends to select up to two (2) organisations to collaborate with, but it reserves its right to select fewer or more organisations and/ or not form a collaboration agreement on the basis of responses to this market engagement.
Scope of requirements
We recognise that collaboration across sectors can help address the challenges surrounding CVD. We are open to a range of partnership models and are particularly interested in contributions that may include:
• Financial or in-kind support
• Donations of goods or services
• Joint public awareness campaigns
• Access to networks, data, or expertise
• Programme suggestions/development
• Other innovative resources or approaches
In return, DHSC may:
• Collaborate with you around the publication and implementation of the CVD Modern Service Framework.
• Collaborate with you around PR moments and provide recognition to the collaboration. 
• Seek opportunities to promote outputs from the collaboration.
If you have questions to raise about this potential opportunity, please contact cvd.msf.partnerships@dhsc.gov.uk.
