Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, managed by NHS England, pertains to the title “(STA) NCCPM Ext (Oct 25 - March 26)” and falls under the health services category. The process involves a direct award for the provision of scientific and technical advice and performance monitoring services specifically for the NHS Breast Screening Programme. This award was completed, with the contract being active from 12th December 2025 to 31st March 2026. The buyer, NHS England, is situated in London, with the supplier, the Royal Surrey County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, located in Guildford. The procurement method was a direct award, justified by the absence of competition due to technical reasons and intellectual property rights. The most recent relevant date of publication was 12th January 2026.

This contract presents a unique opportunity for businesses with the capability to deliver specialised health services, particularly those with expertise in scientific and technical consultancy in medical screening programmes. As the contract is granted on a direct award basis due to the intellectual property held by the supplier, opportunities may be more suitable for large organisations with established proprietary tools or methods, particularly in the health sector. Such businesses stand to gain from engaging in future opportunities or subcontracting arrangements in collaborations for similar health service provision needs, thereby fostering growth within the healthcare service industry.
