## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care (London) has concluded the procurement process for a project titled "HPV Self-sampling Cost Effectiveness Model" under the industry category of Research and Development Consultancy Services. The procurement, which follows an open procedure (above threshold), commenced with the tender period ending on 19th August 2024, and the contract period running from 14th October 2024 to 13th April 2026. The successful supplier, The University of Sydney, will be responsible for executing a cost-effectiveness model to evaluate the self-sampling option for HPV testing among a portion of women eligible for cervical screening in England. The total contract value, including potential extensions, stands at £299,852 (inclusive of VAT), and the model's findings will be vital in assessing the health outcomes under various usage scenarios.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for organisations specialising in research and developmental consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in health economics and public health. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) may also find particular interest in such tenders due to their suitability criteria. The project's comprehensive scope provides businesses an opportunity to not only contribute to a significant public health initiative but also enhance their expertise and portfolio in the growing field of cost-effectiveness research in healthcare. This contract will likely attract businesses with capabilities in extensive data analysis, modelling, and health outcome evaluation, aiming to leverage these skills for organisational growth and market expansion.

## Notice

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).
