This contract, titled "HPV Self-sampling Cost Effectiveness Model," falls under the services category, specifically research and development services and related consultancy (CPV: 73000000). The process has progressed to its final stages, with the contract awarded to The University of Sydney on 14th October 2024 and the procurement now marked as complete.

The project requires deliverables, including interim and final reports, and publication in a peer-reviewed journal, underscoring the need for a thorough and credible research approach. Businesses with the capability to navigate and fulfil such detailed requirements will be well-suited to participate in future related procurements by the DHSC, aligning their growth strategies with government health initiatives.

Notice Title

HPV Self-sampling Cost Effectiveness Model

Notice Description

The Department of Health and Social Care has appointed an experienced supplier to undertake a piece of cost-effectiveness modelling to understand the conditions under which harms will outweigh benefits for the offer of HPV self-sampling in the UK.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The HPV self-sampling ISE will offer a portion of women eligible for cervical screening in England the choice between a clinician taken sample and a self-sample for HPV.
The UK NSC has appointed the University of Sydney to undertake a piece of cost-effectiveness modelling to understand the conditions under which harms will outweigh benefits for the offer of HPV self-sampling in the UK. This is particularly important given that testing for HPV on a vaginal/urine self-sample could be slightly less sensitive than a clinician taken cervical sample. Therefore, modelling is required to understand how the self-sampling offer under different uptake scenarios could impact on the number of screen-detected HPV and treated cervical lesion.
Contract term: 18 months with the option to extend for a period of up to 6 months.
Contract value (including extensions): PS249,876 excluding VAT (PS299,852 including VAT).
