North Northamptonshire Council - NHS Health Checks DPS
Framework Description
North Northamptonshire Council runs this Dynamic Purchasing System to commission NHS Health Checks for local residents. It is a single-lot DPS that the council has reopened so new providers can join, and it runs to 31 March 2027 with no extension. The notice is on Find a Tender as 014123-2024. Approved providers work with a council Contract Manager so delivery matches local public health priorities.
Context & Use Case
The council's public health function uses the DPS to buy the NHS Health Check, the national programme that assesses adults aged 40 to 74 for their risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease. As a DPS, it lets the council admit providers over time and invite those admitted to compete for specific contracts as needs change across North Northamptonshire.
Scope of Services
NHS Health Checks for eligible adults aged 40 to 74 Risk assessment for heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease Personalised advice based on each person's results Referral to specialist services where needed Recording and reporting data to NHS and council requirements
Lots
Single lot (DPS)
Who Can Apply
Suits healthcare providers, clinics and other organisations with trained staff and experience of delivering public health services in North Northamptonshire. As a live DPS, it accepts new applications, so suitable providers can apply to join now, before it closes on 31 March 2027.
Buyer Benefits
Finding people at risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes early is a public health priority, and the council needs enough providers to reach eligible residents. The DPS lets it add capacity as demand changes, bring in new providers without a fresh tender, and hold every provider to the same data and reporting standards through its Contract Manager.
Next Steps
Read Find a Tender notice 014123-2024 for the application route and selection criteria, then apply to join while the DPS is open. It ends on 31 March 2027, so apply early enough to compete for contracts awarded before then. Have evidence ready of clinical governance, staff competence in delivering the checks, and how you record and report results.
