NHS Health Checks

Birmingham City Council has awarded contracts for the provision of NHS Health Checks, a health service designed to prevent stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, or dementia in adults aged 40 to 74 in the UKG region. These contracts were awarded through a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) under the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, with the tender stage completed on 30th August 2024.

The contracts commenced on 1st October 2024, with an initial duration up to the end of September 2025 and an option to extend for two years based on satisfactory performance and funding availability. This procurement falls outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in the health services industry.

The fixed fee/tariff service model provides financial stability for providers, while the absence of competitive bidding through the "Direct Award Process B" facilitates easier entry for new providers. Ideal candidates include medical practices and community health service providers with expertise in preventive health care and patient health assessments.

The contracted suppliers, all SMEs, include Amaanah Medical Practice, Broadway Health Centre, Bucklands End Lane Surgery, Burbury Medical Centre, and several others, demonstrating the council's focus on supporting local businesses.
