Summary of the contracting process

Knowsley Council is in the planning stage of the contracting process for a "Soft Market Test for a NHS Health Check Support Service" in the UK region UKD71. This initiative falls under the services category, specifically health services, and involves a soft market engagement to help shape the future procurement exercise. Interested suppliers must submit a completed questionnaire and company information by 22nd September 2025, with the procurement exercise aimed at supporting local GP Surgeries for NHS Health Checks.

The process is managed under the light touch regime and involves a public authority - sub-central government entity. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, especially Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) interested in healthcare services provision. Given the focus on high-quality support for NHS Health Checks, companies with expertise in healthcare service management and delivery are well-suited to compete.
