NHS Health Checks

The delivery of the NHS Health Check programme to eligible Thurrock residents. The contract is for the delivery of the NHS Health Check programme across Thurrock.

The service includes the proactive identification and invitation of eligible residents, targeted outreach to individuals with identified cardiovascular risk factors, and delivery of NHS Health Checks in accordance with national standards. The aims of the service are to increase uptake, reduce health inequalities, and support early identification of cardiovascular risk among the Thurrock population.

This contract has been awarded using Direct Award Process A under the Provider Selection Regime. The service is an existing provision.

Due to the nature of NHS Health Checks - requiring access to patients' primary care records, continuity of care and the ability to deliver targeted, population‑specific engagement - Primary Care Networks (subcontracting to or in partnership with GPs) are the only providers able to meet these specific service requirements and provide equitable access across Thurrock. There are no realistic alternative providers capable of delivering the service in a way that meets the identified health needs.

The lifetime value of the five‑year contract is £1,456,965 (estimated), with actual costs dependent on activity levels. The contract will run for three years, from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2028, with the option to extend by a further two years.
