SMI Annual Physical Health Checks
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The procurement process for the "SMI Annual Physical Health Checks" is led by the Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, a central government public authority in the UK. The procurement falls under the industry category of Community Health Services and was conducted through a direct award method, focusing on providing essential health checks for individuals with severe mental illness in the Wirral region. The contract, valued at £225,174, was awarded to Health Junction CIC, marking the completion of the tender stage.
Key dates include the contract period from 29 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, with the contract award being finalised on 28 April 2025. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in community health services, particularly those prioritising mental health and preventative care. As Health Junction CIC is a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME), the contract highlights the potential for similar-sized businesses to gain government contracts and expand their operations.
Companies specialising in health services for vulnerable populations could find this procurement an impressive example of growth through addressing public health needs and achieving significant targets, like increasing the completion rates of health checks for patients with severe mental illnesses.
People with a severe mental illness (SMI) face one of the greatest health equality gaps - life expectancy is 15-20 years shorter due to preventable physical illnesses. In 2022 when an organisation called Health Junction started, Wirral had a very low SMI annual physical health check completion rate of 13%. In March 2024 Wirral Place achieved 64% completion of SMI Physical health checks, exceeding the then national target of 60%.
At this time there were 3326 people on the Wirral SMI register. Of these, 64% so 2152 people have now had an annual physical health check which is an excellent achievement for Wirral Place. April 2025 to March 2026 PS140,000
