The contract, which falls under the open procedure procurement method, aims to support the NHS Long Term Plan ambitions by lowering the bowel cancer screening referral threshold from 120 ug/gm to 80 ug/gm, following the Scottish screening programme. This change is intended to detect more cancers earlier, reduce mortality, and improve quality of life. The contract has been awarded, with NHS England based in Leeds, England, overseeing the process. The contract period commenced on 5th March 2025 and will run until 1st October 2026, with a contract value of £500,000 GBP. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs involved in health service evaluations. It encourages the participation of businesses capable of managing complex health projects that aim to enhance cancer detection and improve public health sustainability amid increased endoscopy demands and programme extensions. Companies that specialise in healthcare analytics, programme evaluation, and data analysis would be well-suited to compete in such tenders. The contractor for this project, RAND Europe Community Interest Company, embodies the type of expertise and scale advantageous for similar business opportunities. ## Notice To support achievement of NHS Long Term Plan ambitions, it has been agreed by NHS England that the NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme referral threshold will reduce from 120 ug/gm to 80ug/gm, in line with the Scottish screening programme. Evidence suggests that this will be a cost-effective way to detect more cancers earlier, reduce mortality and increase quality of life. Achieving this extension will be challenging alongside year-on-year increases in endoscopy demand from symptomatic services, BSCP age extension, and the enrolment of people with Lynch syndrome into the programme. Therefore, to understand how this change in screening protocol can be delivered sustainably it has been agreed that the threshold will initially be dropped in select pilot sites alongside a comprehensive evaluation. Therefore NHSE seeks a partner to deliver the evaluation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b4dd8f65-0d2f-4b10-863a-86fd010549d3 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Apr 2025 | | Submission deadline | 21 Nov 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 6 Mar 2025 | | Contract period | 5 Mar 2025 - 1 Oct 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £500,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS ENGLAND | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 4AP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Hunslet & Riverside | | Westminster constituency | Leeds South | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | RAND EUROPE COMMUNITY INTEREST | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 16 Apr 2025 at 08:54 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b4dd8f65-0d2f-4b10-863a-86fd010549d3 - 3 Apr 2025 at 10:33 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9f50af8c-9d03-40b4-b663-b67f834b2dd9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b4dd8f65-0d2f-4b10-863a-86fd010549d3 16th April 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9f50af8c-9d03-40b4-b663-b67f834b2dd9 3rd April 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a8dc2863-f5ef-4d8e-a406-c4f9cd4070ec REDACTED (C340878) C313762 Appendix 2 to Document 3 - Terms and Conditions final signed ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
