NHS Health Checks Community Outreach SC, HI & W/2025/96

Stoke-on-Trent City Council is seeking providers to deliver NHS Health Checks through a community outreach model, expanding access beyond general practice to improve uptake among communities with low coverage, high health needs, or historically low engagement.

The NHS Health Check programme is a statutory service for adults aged 40 to 74 who do not have a diagnosis of heart disease, kidney disease, stroke, or type 2 diabetes. The service provides assessments to identify an individual’s future risk of cardiovascular disease and related conditions through a range of health measures, including blood pressure, cholesterol testing, height, weight, smoking history, and physical activity.

The Council advises that the programme was suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to recover. The procurement aims to increase delivery through non-healthcare settings by working with local communities and adopting targeted approaches to improve participation.

Providers appointed to the contract will be expected to:

• Host approximately 30 community events across Stoke-on-Trent each year.
• Deliver approximately 3,000 NHS Health Checks annually through the outreach service.
• Maintain their own record system and submit an agreed data template to both the Local Authority and each individual’s registered GP.
• Demonstrate knowledge of referral pathways and the ability to support individuals requiring lifestyle interventions.
• Build or maintain relationships with local communities to reach target populations.
• Deliver flexible engagement approaches, including varied invitation methods to encourage uptake.

The Council has confirmed that payment will be made through a hybrid model consisting of a fixed set-up payment for each event or venue alongside activity-based payments for completed health checks.
