Health Checks
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The Council of the Borough of Kirklees has completed the award stage of a public procurement process titled "Health Checks", under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023. This initiative focuses on medical practice services within the UKE44 region, encompassing Huddersfield and Batley. The contract commenced on 1 July 2025 and will run until 31 March 2028, with potential extensions for up to two more years.
The contract, managed through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, is specifically structured to leverage existing capabilities of general practitioner services, acknowledging their access to sensitive data and unique capabilities in patient follow-up based on NHS Health Check results. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth within the healthcare sector, particularly for organisations versed in handling medical practice services with existing frameworks for delivering general-practitioner services. The value proposition is effective for both new and existing providers within the region, thus offering expansion avenues for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as larger healthcare institutions.
The awarded suppliers, including Batley Health Centre and several Huddersfield-based surgeries, demonstrate the project's accessibility to a diverse range of business sizes, ensuring that local health providers can sustainably grow their footprint while enhancing community healthcare delivery. The alignment with the national NHS Health Check initiatives further underscores the importance of being equipped with innovative solutions like digital health checks to foster competitive advantage in future procurement exercises.
Eligible adults are entitled to receive an invitation for an NHS Health Check once every 5 years, so in seeking to equalise the distribution of the health checks annually, it will need to cover such a time span. The breaks are suggested to allow for consideration of potential national developments such as a digital NHS Health Check, or workplace health checks, which are both being piloted currently. The new arrangements will continue to be a GP-led delivery approach, and from a practical perspective this is the only feasible option, since they hold the sensitive eligible population data and no data sharing agreements exist locally which would allow any other provider to have access to this information.
We also consider that GPs remain best placed to respond appropriately to the findings of the NHS Health Check and provide the best follow-on advice and/or treatment to the patient depending on the results.
