Notice Information

Notice Title

Software and Hosting of the Tumour Assessment Tool for the Genomics Education Programme

Notice Description

The Genomics Education Programme (GEP) was established in 2014 following an initial investment from the Department of Health to pump prime genomic education and training activity to support the delivery of the 100,000 Genomes Project. At the beginning of financial year 2018/19 the GEP became part of 'business as usual' within Health Education England (HEE) and, in collaboration with NHS England (NHSE), continues to support the newly launched NHS Genomic Medicine Service (GMS). As part of its role in delivering education and training to the NHS workforce, the GEP has developed two 'Articulate' online e-learning modules to educate and train histopathologists and other NHS staff in the fundamentals and best practice of tumour assessment suitable for whole genome sequencing. To ensure that learners can test the knowledge they acquire from these modules, an accompanying final assessment component is necessary. In this assessment, learners should be able to view and assess real tumour samples within a digital pathology / virtual microscopy environment. HEE is therefore inviting quotations from providers for the service of hosting the online e-learning modules and providing the infrastructure, hosting and software to provide the digital pathology assessment for learners. This will commence 19th October 2020 for up to 2 years (with the option to extend for a further 3 years).
