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.

West Northamptonshire Council needs to deliver NHS Health Checks to around 34,650 people per year (aged 40-74 with no heart disease history) over five years from 2024/25 to 2028/29. This is a legal duty under health law, and the council is using a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to find providers to run these checks and identify people at risk of cardiovascular disease.
Requirements
- Must be able to deliver NHS Health Checks to people aged 40-74 with no previous cardiovascular disease history
- Must comply with the Health and Social Care Act 2012 legal framework
- Must be able to invite and process approximately 49,500 eligible people per year across West Northamptonshire
- Must work to achieve 70% uptake rate of offered checks (council target) or minimum 66% (OHID baseline expectation)
- Must be able to monitor and report on programme performance
- Must be registered on the NHS Health Check DPS framework to bid
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Invite 49,500 eligible people annually to attend a Health Check appointment
- Conduct approximately 34,650 health checks per year (based on 70% uptake target)
- Screen patients for cardiovascular risk factors and identify those with cardiovascular disease
- Record health check results and risk assessments
- Refer high-risk patients to appropriate management or treatment pathways
- Maintain patient records and data in line with NHS standards
- Report performance data and uptake rates to the council annually
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a DPS (Dynamic Purchasing System) contract — it's a pre-approved framework, so you must already be registered on it or apply to join it before you can bid for individual delivery contracts. Check who operates the NHS Health Check DPS.
- 2The eligible population figure (247,499 people) and annual targets (49,500 invites, 34,650 checks) are your key numbers — use these to calculate staffing, clinic capacity, and cost per check needed to bid competitively.
- 3There are two uptake targets mentioned: the council wants 70% but OHID (the government body) expects 66% — understand which one you'll be measured against, as this affects your resource planning.
- 4This runs for five years (2024/25 to 2028/29), so it's a long-term commitment — factor in inflation, staff retention, and equipment costs over the full period.
- 5Look for the full tender documents to find details on: clinical staff requirements (nurse/practitioner qualifications), IT systems needed, venue requirements, patient communication methods, and how performance will be monitored.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're a smaller provider (e.g. single practice or clinic), consider partnering with other local health providers to share the 34,650 annual checks — you don't have to deliver all of it alone, and consortium bids can be stronger.
- Emphasize social value in your bid: how you'll reach underserved communities (deprived areas have higher cardiovascular mortality), offer accessible appointment times, or use community health workers to improve uptake beyond the 70% target.
- Your pricing should be per health check delivered, not per invitation sent — build your costs around achieving the uptake rate, not the number of invites, since you're only paid for checks actually completed.
