Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, on behalf of RM Partners Cancer Alliance, is procuring a targeted lung cancer screening service across North West and South West London. The programme is for people aged 55 to 74 with a history of smoking who are at increased risk of lung cancer. It covers identifying and inviting eligible people, carrying out lung health checks, referring people for low-dose CT scans where appropriate, making onward clinical referrals and providing access to smoking cessation support. Delivery requires collaboration across primary care, diagnostic and secondary care settings and compliance with national quality and assurance requirements. The main service category is medical imaging, within a wider healthcare screening pathway.

The process has reached the award stage under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using a direct award without prior publication of a competition. InHealth Limited was selected as supplier and the contract is recorded as active and signed on 21 September 2026. The contract value is £28,452,105 for an initial period from 5 October 2026 to 4 April 2029, with an optional extension to 4 April 2030. The authority’s decision used five criteria: quality and innovation at 30%, value at 20%, integration, collaboration and sustainability at 20%, access, health inequalities and choice at 20%, and social value at 10%. One bid was recorded. The standstill representation deadline was 1 October 2026.

This requirement indicates demand for a large-scale, end-to-end lung cancer screening provider able to manage the full pathway from participant identification and invitation through assessment, imaging, clinical decision-making and onward referral. Strong competitors would need experience delivering safe, high-quality screening and diagnostic services across community, primary care, diagnostic and secondary care environments. Credibility would also depend on scalable operations, efficient use of resources, continuous service or process improvement, and the ability to integrate with NHS and wider health and social care partners. Providers should be able to improve access for eligible high-risk populations, reduce health inequalities, support patient choice and smoking cessation, demonstrate measurable patient and population-health benefits, and provide wider economic, social and environmental value in London.
