    "description": "Following a review of Upper GI endoscopy diagnostic testing, it was identified there is a requirement for a minimally invasive diagnostic test, without the use of sedation in patients who require screening or surveillance of Oesophageal pathologies such as Barrett's Oesophagus (BE known pre-malignant lesion for oesophageal adenocarcinoma). Patients with reflux predominant upper GI symptoms who have been referred for urgent Upper GI endoscopy with concern of pre or early oesophageal cancer and/or patient's with known Barrett's oesophagus who are at risk of oesophageal cancer with progressive symptoms and/or who have had significant delay in their upper GI endoscopy would be eligible for the diagnostic test. The Pathology laboratory test should include -TFF3 (Trefoil Factor 3) biomarker (BE specific marker), and p53 and atypia reporting to define high-risk criteria. NHS Scotland has made the decision to implement a national approach for the Provision of an Oesophageal Cell Collection Device (OCCD) and service delivery to pathology lab, pathology service and pathology reporting, in a 'Once for Scotland' approach. This procurement is to identify a holistic service provider that will be implemented across all NHS Scotland health boards for this provision.
