What is being bought

Published requirement description

The NHS Health Check is a national prevention programme which aims to reduce the chance of a heart attack, stroke or developing certain forms of dementia in people aged 40-74. It achieves this by assessing the top seven risk factors driving the burden of non-communicable disease in England. It also provides individuals with behavioural support and where appropriate pharmacological treatment to address these risks.

Commissioning of NHS Health Checks is a statutory requirement of Councils resulting from The Local Authorities (Public Health Functions and Entry to Premises by Local Healthwatch Representatives) Regulations 2013.

GP Practices throughout the borough of Cheshire East will be awarded contracts for Delivery of NHS Health Checks (including identification of patient eligibility).

Why no open competition

The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons

Published justification

The Public Contract Regulations Section 32.(2).(b).(ii) states: 32.—(1) In the specific cases and circumstances laid down in this regulation, contracting authorities may award public contracts by a negotiated procedure without prior publication.

General Grounds (2) The negotiated procedure without prior publication may be used for public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts in any of the following cases:—

(b) where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator for any of the following reasons:—

(ii) competition is absent for technical reasons.

In the context of this contract, General Practitioners are the only suitable supplier as they have sole access to the confidential medical data necessary to ascertain the invitations and commit to completing Health Checks for those eligible.

General practices also have access to phlebotomy services that are required for the Cholesterol check. This is absorbed into their overall business costs. Whilst a 3rd party provider can use Point of Care Testing (POCT) equipment to undertake this check it is noted in recent research to not be as effective as a full blood test. This equipment is also expensive which would lead to additional service costs.

Any alternative Provider would need to factor in costs in administrative tasks, the logistical impact on supplying health checks to service users and the need for a comprehensive GDPR risk assessment and information sharing agreement for a large number of eligible population. This does not represent best value to the Council.
