Description
This early market engagement and accompanying attachments are being made publicly available to any organisations which are interested in the blood self-sampling/testing services for the build and private Beta phase of the digital NHS Health Check.
This exercise is intended to provide potential bidders with the opportunity to view and comment on the requirements for the blood self-sampling services for the digital NHS Health Check, if they wish to do so. This seeks to engage with the market to enable the Department of Health and Social Care (the Department) to:
1. understand more about existing end-to-end pathology services in England that can supply, distribute, receive, analyse and send results from self-sampling or self-testing cholesterol and blood glucose (HbA1c) kits that meet the requirements of the planned digital NHS Health Check.
2. inform the blood sampling/testing approach and a potential Invitation to Tender (ITT) to procure the required pathology services for the planned digital NHS Health Check Beta phase. Currently, the intention is to test blood self-sampling and/or self-testing as part of the end-to-end digital NHS Health Check pathway with a small number of eligible participants during the private Beta phase. However, this is dependent on if there are suitable services available that meet the programme requirements.
3. inform decisions on the approach to cholesterol and blood glucose sampling/testing for the digital NHS Health Check when considering rollout at scale.
This Supplier Questionnaire is being issued in conjunction with the Developing a national digital NHS Health Check for local use: Blood self-sampling services Market Engagement Brief.
You can select this link to access and register your organisation to the Atamis system https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome, if you have not already done so. The completed questionnaire should be returned no later than Friday 19th January 2024 at 12:00 and shall be submitted through the Atamis e-portal system.
