Consultation process
The council is currently in a contract with a
supplier to provider NHS Health Checks until 31 March 2026. As it
as requirement of The Local Authorities (Public Health Functions)
Act 2013 to provide/commission NHS Health Checks, a new contract is
being sought from April 2026. The Director of Public Health has
indicated that the annual budget will be £100k, with a
contract term of 5 years. This brings the total contract value to
£500k. The commercial procurement team have advised that a
market testing exercise is to be undertaken initially. Depending on
the outcome of this market testing, it will determine the
procurement route (i.e. competitive tender, direct award to current
supplier). In any case, as the service is providing a healthcare
service directly to residents (patients), the procurement is within
the scope of NHS Provider Selection Regime, which came into force
on 1 Jan 2024.
