What is being bought

To support the publication of England’s Cardiovascular Disease Modern Service Framework the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and NHS England are exploring collaboration opportunities with stakeholders from the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) and private sectors interested in supporting the Government’s ambition to reduce premature deaths from heart disease and stroke by 25% within a decade. We are asking interested parties to submit the below form detailing their proposed offer of collaboration. We are especially interested in initiatives focused on the prevention and management of heart disease and stroke, particularly in the most deprived groups. This includes initiatives around supporting people to lead healthier lives for example through healthy food environments and physical activity, public awareness of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its risk factors, diagnosis of CVD and CVD risk, and rehabilitation.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 33. The category anchor is Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (33000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

Background and introduction DHSC is seeking to engage with interested parties in the VCSE and private sectors that can help us to reduce premature deaths from heart disease and stroke by 25% within a decade. CVD is the leading cause of death in the UK. Almost three quarters of cases are due to modifiable risk factors and rates of premature mortality from heart disease and stroke are higher among those living in the most deprived communities. There is a major opportunity in enabling patients to exercise greater control over their health through supportive environments, in early detection of conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease and raised cholesterol, and in proactive management of risk, particularly in more deprived groups. By strengthening prevention, enhancing timely diagnosis and management, and ensuring high quality treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care for those who develop CVD, the system can meaningfully improve outcomes and help more people live longer, healthier lives. The focus of any future collaboration will include, but is not limited to, the government's ambition to reduce premature deaths from heart disease and stroke by 25% within a decade. This is not a public procurement or sponsorship opportunity and will not result in the award of a “public contract” (within the meaning of the Procurement Act 2023). DHSC is specifically looking to collaborate on a “contribution in kind” basis and wishes to hear from interested parties who can help us with: • Supporting people to lead healthier lives, for example through healthy food environments and physical activity • Raising awareness of CVD and its risk factors, including links to cardiometabolic and renal conditions. • Improving case-finding of CVD risk factors like high-blood pressure and raised cholesterol, for example by offering checks in suitable locations • Community-based rehabilitation opportunities Engagement process and deadline Those wishing to participate in the engagement process should register their interest by completing and submitting the questionnaire at the following link: https://forms.office.com/e/ywSUqzvRpk. Further guidance on how to complete the questionnaire can be downloaded from the link here: https://atamis-1928.my.salesforce.com/sfc/p/0O000000rwim/a/Pz00000Hg0BV/oowzy043hxzGIHDLz8X1EgKD8ZIF4grT.xFN5_FSMec The closing date for responses is on: 12pm on Friday 6 March. Responses received after this time will not be accepted. We will be using a fair and non-discriminatory evaluation method to select interested parties to enter into discussions with regarding a potential collaboration agreement, following the close of the market engagement process. DHSC intends to select up to two (2) organisations to collaborate with, but it reserves its right to select fewer or more organisations and/ or not form a collaboration agreement on the basis of responses to this market engagement. Scope of requirements We recognise that collaboration across sectors can help address the challenges surrounding CVD. We are open to a range of partnership models and are particularly interested in contributions that may include: • Financial or in-kind support • Donations of goods or services • Joint public awareness campaigns • Access to networks, data, or expertise • Programme suggestions/development • Other innovative resources or approaches In return, DHSC may: • Collaborate with you around the publication and implementation of the CVD Modern Service Framework. • Collaborate with you around PR moments and provide recognition to the collaboration. • Seek opportunities to promote outputs from the collaboration. If you have questions to raise about this potential opportunity, please contact cvd.msf.partnerships@dhsc.gov.uk.engagement9 Mar 2026scheduled

There is a major opportunity in enabling patients to exercise greater control over their health through supportive environments, in early detection of conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease and raised cholesterol, and in proactive management of risk, particularly in more deprived groups. \nBy strengthening prevention, enhancing timely diagnosis and management, and ensuring high quality treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care for those who develop CVD, the system can meaningfully improve outcomes and help more people live longer, healthier lives. \nThe focus of any future collaboration will include, but is not limited to, the government's ambition to reduce premature deaths from heart disease and stroke by 25% within a decade. \nThis is not a public procurement or sponsorship opportunity and will not result in the award of a “public contract” (within the meaning of the Procurement Act 2023).

The framework will be published in 2026 and will support consistent, high quality and equitable care whilst fostering innovation across the CVD pathway. \nDHSC is interested in exploring how industry, voluntary, community and social enterprises and government can better work together to achieve its strategic ambition to reduce premature deaths from heart disease and stroke by 25% within a decade. \nThe purpose of this market engagement is to invite any party connected or interested in our ambition to tackle CVD to complete a questionnaire asking them what they feel are potential areas of opportunity for collaboration. This questionnaire is likely to form part of a wider programme of market engagement activities related to CVD. This initial engagement is designed to be broad and strategic. DHSC anticipates carrying out further engagements, including more targeted potential partnerships once the MSF has been published with specific challenge areas.",

        "description": "The government’s ambition to reduce premature deaths from heart disease and stroke by 25% within a decade presents a major opportunity to improve cardiovascular health across the population. \nCardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the UK. Almost three quarters of cases are due to modifiable risk factors and rates of premature mortality from CVD are higher among those living in the most deprived communities. There is a major opportunity in enabling patients to exercise greater control over their health through supportive environments, in early detection of conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease and raised cholesterol, and in proactive management of risk, particularly in more deprived groups.  \nBy strengthening prevention, enhancing timely diagnosis and management, and ensuring high quality treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care for those who develop CVD, the system can meaningfully improve outcomes and help more people live longer, healthier lives. \nMarket Engagement Opportunity\nThe Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is interested in exploring how industry, voluntary, community and social enterprises and government can better work together to achieve its strategic ambition to reduce premature deaths from heart disease and stroke by 25% within a decade. \nThe purpose of this market engagement is to invite any party connected or interested in our ambition to tackle CVD to complete a questionnaire asking them what they feel are potential areas of opportunity for collaboration. This questionnaire is likely to form part of a wider programme of market engagement activities related to CVD. This initial engagement is designed to be broad and strategic. DHSC anticipates carrying out further engagements, including more targeted potential partnerships once the MSF has been published with specific challenge areas. \nThere is no planned procurement activity relating to the publication of this preliminary market engagement notice. For avoidance of doubt this is not a call for competition nor a procurement and therefore it will have a monetary payment value of £0 attached for this engagement. The purpose is to initiate engagement with organisations interested in contributing to the government’s ambitions on CVD, therefore responses will be shared with teams across DHSC and NHS England.   \nOrganisations are invited to complete a short questionnaire at this link: https://forms.office.com/e/L9pyVDsySf. The questionnaire will close for responses on Thursday 12th February at 12:00 PM, responses after this time will not be accepted.  \nA subsequent virtual CVD market engagement event will be held later in February, where organisations who have responded to the questionnaire will be invited to discuss opportunities for potential partnerships further. \nIf you have any challenges in completing this questionnaire or have specific questions around the market engagement, please contact: cvd.msf.partnerships@dhsc.gov.uk"
