The Director of Public Health:
Approved authority to put an offer, in principle, to the Leeds GP Confederation, as outlined in this report under Regulation 32 (2) (b) (ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, to enter into negotiations to establish a new contract for the provision of a new NHS Health Check contract for a period of 5 years commencing 1st April 2024 (with an option to extend for a period of up to 36 months in any combination) with a maximum budget of £520,000 per annum plus up to a potential maximum of £550,000 of Public Health Reserves will be available over the first two years. (The budget is £4,710,000 for the overall contract period if all extensions are used).
Approved the use of 100% quality tender evaluation criteria, in accordance with Contract Procedure Rules (CPRs) 15.2 (b).
Noted that a further report to approve the contract award which will be a direct consequence of this key decision will be submitted for approval at the end of the procurement process and will therefore be a significant operational decision at most which will not be subject to call in.
