Results for “NHS”

North Northamptonshire Council is seeking to procure a Point of Care Testing (POCT) solution to support delivery of the NHS Health Checks programme from 1 April 2027. The requirement includes POCT analysers, consumables, maintenance, repair and replacement arrangements, quality assurance, training, technical support and account management. POCT enables trained NHS Health Checks providers to obtain cholesterol and HbA1c results during the health check appointment, supporting immediate risk assessment, patient discussion and appropriate follow-up. Further review has confirmed that the current screening-based POCT model remains clinically appropriate and proportionate for the NHS Health Checks pathway. The current contract expires on 31st March 2027. The Council's analyser estate is ageing, with a significant proportion of devices expected to require replacement during the new contract period. Contract management concerns have also been identified in relation to asset tracking and external quality control oversight. The proposed procurement will therefore secure a comprehensive and clearly managed POCT contract, reducing fragmentation and strengthening quality assurance, lifecycle management and Council oversight.

The NHS Health Check programme aims to prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD) and associated conditions through the early assessment, awareness, and management of individual behavioural and physiological risk factors. The programme is aimed at all adults in England aged between 40-74 who are not currently being treated for CVD. The delivery of NHS Health Checks is a statutory responsibility for all Local Authorities (LAs). All eligible individuals must be invited to attend an NHS Health Check once every five years.

The outreach model for this service will build on this foundation, targeting populations with historically lower engagement to improve uptake, earlier risk identification and equitable health outcomes across the county. This market engagement event will inform the development of a future NHS Health Checks outreach service for Hampshire that will work alongside the existing general practice-led programme. The ambition is to increase access to cardiovascular disease prevention and early identification of risk factors among residents who are least likely to be reached through traditional healthcare services. Focus will be given to underserved populations, including those with socioeconomic, ethnic and gender inequalities, Gypsy, Roma and Traveller (GRT) communities, carers, those experiencing homelessness, and people employed in routine and manual occupations. The service will be expected to deliver health checks in trusted community settings and workplaces, helping to reduce barriers to access and address persistent health inequalities across Hampshire.

An NHS Health Check is a free health assessment offered to help prevent serious cardiovascular conditions by spotting risks early. For the purpose of this local service, those eligible are between 40 and 74 years old without already diagnosed long term cardiovascular health conditions, and either registered with a Somerset GP or living in Somerset. The service may be offered to staff or patients meeting this criterion. The aim of this service is to reduce access barriers for those with severe mental illnesses by combining the NHS HC opportunity with other treatment access. This may be extended to other cohorts like those accessing bariatric services as the service develops. The service will need to be run to the standard protocol for NHS Health Checks service including measurement of pulse rate, blood pressure and POCT blood cholesterol. It will enable detection of risk factors for hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, kidney dysfunction, obesity and heart arrythmias which would be referred to the patient's GP to consider formal diagnosis. It will also include lifestyle support for alcohol use, smoking, healthy weight and physical exercise.

Provision of a Key Worker Service to support children and young people (0–25) with learning disabilities and/or autism, delivering coordinated, person-centred, multi-agency support aligned to NHS England Keyworker Programme requirements.

This procurement relates to the recommissioning of the NHS Health Checks Programme in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The service is a statutory public health programme offering cardiovascular health risk assessments to eligible adults aged 40-74 years, delivered in line with national NHS Health Check guidance and local population need. The programme aims to increase uptake of NHS Health Checks, particularly within under‑served and priority population groups, and to support early identification and management of cardiovascular disease risk factors. Delivery will include both opportunistic and targeted models across a range of community, clinical and non‑clinical settings, including community venues, workplaces and primary care‑linked delivery models. The Council is exploring a mixed commissioning approach to support funded delivery capacity alongside flexible access, and is seeking to engage with potential providers, including NHS organisations, primary care, community providers, and voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations, to inform the future service design.
