Health Checks provide a systematic mechanism for identifying and managing people with the common risk factors driving disease such as; cardiovascular disease (CVD), stroke, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and dementia.

6.A statement explaining the award decision-makers' reasons for selecting the chosen provider, with reference to the key criteria:
Considered by public health service and guidance obtained to use PSR Regulations:
The delivery of NHS Health Checks is mandated within the public health responsibilities for the Local Authority. Hullcare Limited undertook a successful Pilot in 2024/2025 and have demonstrated the ability to improve equity in access to eligible priority populations in Hull. The pilot took place between March and May 2025 and delivered a total of 1192 NHS health checks, from a target of 1200 (99.3%).
The Service Review was undertaken contributing to our decision making as well as colleagues in procurement and legal. The Review was then cross-referenced with the Key Evaluation Criteria to assess their proposal. The weighting for each of the criteria was as follows:
1. Quality and Innovation - 20%
2. Value - 20%
3. Integration, collaboration and service sustainability - 20%
4. Improving access, reducing health inequalities, and facilitating choice - 20%
5. Social value - 20%
As further assurance that the provider would be able to satisfy the new contract to a sufficient standard, Quality Assurance questions based on the updated service specification were issued covering the key criteria, the statements are below:
1. Quality and Innovation - The Service Provider has already delivered NHS Health Checks across the city of Hull with a number of 'Federated' GP practices as a trial. The Service Provider was able to ensure full city wide coverage, increased access and equity. Moving forward the Service Provider will work to support all Hull practices, including those that are not part of the federation to support the delivery of and or provide NHS Health Checks in a collective way. This means that the whole population of Hull can access a Health Check regardless if their GP is practice is providing or not.
2. Value - The Service Provider undertook a successful pilot earlier in 2025 and, were able to meet the budget with no overspend. They were able to demonstrate good ongoing activity and adequate forward planning in terms of improving access, whilst being cognisant of the limitations of the pilot budget.
The Service Provider shall work with the Local Authority to ensure efficiency and achieve effectiveness.
3. Integration, collaboration and service sustainability - 20% - The service is open to all appropriate patients, and the Service Provider member practices now cover 240K of Hull's 315K patient population. In addition to our member practices the Service Provider is looking to work alongside our non member practices to located across the city to allow equitable and equal access. This is especially important in areas of higher deprivation or where the population is reluctant to access mainstream healthcare.
The Service Provider will work to encourage self referral and actively audits practice records to invite in, those patients that have not been seen for some time. Clinics are also planned in advance to assure access and ensure adequate capacity.
Whilst the service is being delivered and roll out increased, practice staff will receive ongoing, additional and upskilling training to support the delivery of NHS Health Checks across the system. This will then increase staff competency (continuing professional development) and form part of the service delivery legacy.
4. Improving access, reducing health inequalities, and facilitating choice - The NHS Health Check is a public health programme aimed at preventing disease; the Service Provider will ensure that the service is available to all appropriate Hull residents between the age of 40 and 74, who have no pre existing health conditions, or are on an existing care pathway.
The Service Provider will target those that do not usually access preventive health care provision, working collaboratively to promote awareness-raising and help reduce health inequalities by targeting individuals from population groups that experience greater barriers in accessing health care.
5. Social value - 20% - This service provision will improve the overall well being of the population by offering NHS Health Checks to those appropriate, whilst also targeting known areas of need across the city. This process will also underpin the onward referral to support services such as Smoking Cessation, Weight Management and CVD / Cardio services, which will therefore improve city-wide health and wellbeing.
