Tender: NHS Health Check Delivery – Northamptonshire (2024/25–2028/29)

About

Local authority in Northamptonshire is seeking a supplier for delivery of the NHS Health Check programme to reduce avoidable premature mortality by early identification and management of cardiovascular risk factors and disease in people aged 40 to 74 with no previous history of cardiovascular disease. The programme must meet the legal requirement to offer an NHS Health Check to 100% of the eligible population every five years by inviting 20% of eligible people each year; in Northamptonshire 247,499 people are eligible between 2024/25 and 2028/29, meaning 49,500 people should be offered a check each year. The local Councils’ aspiration is a 70% uptake (around 34,650 checks delivered each year), while the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities expects 66% uptake (27,417 checks delivered each year). The specification highlights local need, noting in West Northamptonshire 73 in every 100,000 people die prematurely before age 75 from cardiovascular disease.
