This notice will be published for 14 days before the authority proceeds to assessment of likely providers, as per the requirements of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulation 2023.

The new contractual arrangement will require the selected provider to deliver the key components of the NHS Health Check service, namely risk assessment, risk awareness and risk management. Any additional testing or clinical follow up remains the responsibility for primary care, however there is an expectation that patients are provided with relevant lifestyle information and advice as part of the communication of the results of their health check. Those who complete the Health Check and are found to have a 20% or higher risk of getting cardiovascular disease over the next 10 years will move onto the high-risk register and will then be ineligible for the NHS Health Check. The total eligible Lincolnshire population for the NHS Health Check Programme is currently 2,461. Each eligible individual in the Navenby Practice Code Area is expected to be invited to receive an NHS Health Check once in every 5 year period, resulting in an annual invitation target of 492, or 41 per month. Providers are paid according to activity, with a set cost per invite and per completed health check. There are also annual bonus payments available where Providers invite over 80% of their eligible target population each year and complete checks with incremental additional payments dependent on the proportion of checks completed to incentivise delivery. The duration of the contract will be from 1st July 2026 to 31st March 2029. An extension period of up to 60 months is available within the current contract.
