Representations by providers must be made to the relevant authority by 11th December 2025.

Providers were considered on this basis and consideration was given to the basic selection criteria.\nQuality and Innovation: 30% -  The community outreach offer will support the early identification and management of CVD risk factors in targeted communities. It will address health inequalities where uptake of NHS Health Checks in primary care is low and provide access to members of the community who may find it more challenging to access the service through their GP. \nValue: 20% Integration - The Provider will deliver NHS Health Checks which help to lower the risk of getting conditions such as heart disease, stroke and kidney disease.  In addition to the cost to the individual there will be associated health and social care costs if conditions go undetected. The provider will have established links with local GP Practices and access to SystmOne to ensure eligible patients are invited for an NHS Health Check, patient records capture the outcome of the assessment, and GPs have the information required for any follow up appointments if required. Direct access to SystmOne also negates the need for an additional administration payment to GP Practices.  \nCollaboration and Service Sustainability: 20% - GP Practices - working in partnership with GP Practices to identify and engage with patients eligible for an NHS Health Check and recording the assessment on SystmOne. The Public Health Shared Service - all planning in relation to the delivery of NHS Health Checks in the community and in targeted workplaces will be conducted by the Provider, in consultation with Public Health where required. BLMK Integrated Care Board, particularly the Place Based Teams - delivery of NHS Health Checks and CVD Checks through an outreach model is included in the BLMK ICB Bedford Borough Place Plan. \nImproving Access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice: 20% - The NHS Health Check outreach programme will target adults aged between 40-74 who are not currently being treated for CVD (as per national criterion). Individuals not eligible will be offered a CVD Check. GP Practices prioritised for support from the outreach team will be based on a combination of Practice IMD score and where invites and/or delivery activity is low. \nSocial Value: 10% - The Provider is asked to commit to social value through the delivery of this contract where possible. For example, providing or offering: A supportive environment for all members of staff, Employment/work experience/volunteering opportunities, Recruitment from the local area, Energy efficient/bio degradable/recyclable equipment or materials or practices, Support to local suppliers.\nFollowing provider assessments and application of the key and basic criteria, it was agreed that BEDOC was the only provider capable of meeting the full service specifications and the full requirements of the contract. BEDOC was able to meet all the key criteria and basic selection criteria so was therefore selected as the most suitable provider.",
