Market engagement event: NHS Health Check system procurement

<p>This notice is published by Kent County Council regarding a market engagement exercise ahead of future procurement activity. Kent County Council wishes to engage the market to understand more about the digital solutions and/or systems available for facilitating delivery of the NHS Health Check programme.</p>
<p>This is a mandated service that local authorities must provide for their populations, and it has the primary objective of screening for undiagnosed health issues and sending patients along the relevant care pathway to improve outcomes. More information on the NHS Health Check programme can be found here: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/nhs-health-check/</p>
<p>Kent County Council is interested in solutions and/or systems that can provide any of, but not limited to, the following functions:</p>
<p>• Identify the eligible population for an NHS Health Check</p>
<p>• Invite eligible patients to an NHS Health Check</p>
<p>• Facilitate the NHS Health Check itself including mandatory data collection during the check</p>
<p>• Report results back to the commissioning local authority</p>
<p>• Allow for detailed analysis of invites, checks, and subsequent outcomes of the eligible population receiving a check</p>
<p>• Manage onward referrals of patients after their check, if required</p>
<p>• Assist with payments of providers e.g., General Practices that may be providing checks</p>
<p>• Provide all digital services in line with strict data security standards and legislation</p>
<p>Market engagement events will be held across two meetings, both in September 2022. The first meeting will be for all interested suppliers to attend and will inform the market of the opportunity via a general overview of the requirement. The second meeting will be in the form of a 1:1 session with interested suppliers who may provide information to the council on their solution/system and also give a short demonstration of how this solution/system works in practice.</p>
<p>The general overview meeting will take place on 9 September between 11am and 12.30pm. The 1:1 meetings will take place on Wednesday 14 and Friday 16 September, and individual timeslots will be allocated nearer to these dates.</p>
<p>Suppliers will be invited to these meetings after they have expressed an interest to this notice. Interested suppliers are invited to express interest and provide information on a voluntary basis.</p>
