Overview
The NHS Health Check programme aims to reduce avoidable premature mortality by early identification and management of cardiovascular risk factors and disease in people aged between 40 and 74 years who have no previous history of CVD disease. In West Northamptonshire, 73 in every 100,000 people die prematurely before the age of 75 from cardiovascular disease.
Under the Health and Social Care Act 2012, local authorities have a legal responsibility to commission and monitor a local NHS health check programme. All local authorities must offer an NHS Health Check to 100% of their eligible population every 5 years by inviting 20% of the eligible population each year over the five-year period.
In Northamptonshire, between 2024/2025 and 2028/29, 247,499 people are eligible for a NHS Health Check meaning that 49,500 people should be offered a check each year. The Councils aspiration is for 70% of Health Checks offered to be taken up, which equates to around 34,650 checks delivered each year. Office of Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) expect that 66% of health checks offered should be taken up equating to 27,417 checks delivered each year.

- Deliver minimum 27,417 health checks per year (66% OHID target)

How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a 'Dynamic Purchasing System' (DPS) — it's a pre-approved supplier list rather than a one-off tender. You may need to register on the DPS first before bidding for individual call-offs.
- 2The contract spans five financial years (2024/25 to 2028/29) — check if you can commit resources for this duration and whether there are performance gate reviews annually.
- 3Two uptake targets are mentioned: the Council wants 70% uptake (34,650 checks/year) but OHID expects 66% (27,417 checks/year) — clarify which is contractually binding and how performance is measured against each.
- 4The eligible population is 247,499 people across West Northamptonshire — you'll need to understand the geography, access points, and whether home visits, community clinics, or GP practice-based delivery is expected.
- 5Look for detailed specification documents covering: clinical protocols for health checks, data management/confidentiality requirements, IT systems integration with NHS, staff training and qualification standards, and equality/accessibility provisions for reaching harder-to-engage groups.
Tips for Small Businesses
- Consider forming a consortium with local GP practices, community health providers, or pharmacy chains — they have existing patient access and infrastructure which can reduce your delivery costs and improve uptake rates significantly.
- Emphasize social value in your bid: highlight how you'll reach disadvantaged communities (lower income, ethnic minorities, rural areas) with higher cardiovascular risk — West Northamptonshire's premature mortality rate of 73 per 100,000 suggests targeted outreach will score well.
- Subcontracting opportunity: even if you don't bid as lead provider, you could subcontract health check delivery (nursing, phlebotomy, health advisor roles) to larger providers — this is lower-risk than full contract delivery.
