This initiative is focused on health services within the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom. The key engagement deadline for interested parties is set for 3rd February 2021. The purpose of this project is to provide vital support in the context of health checks specifically aimed at local residents aged 55 to 75 who are smokers or former smokers, with an overall goal to offer Lung Health Checks to the entire eligible patient population by March 2022. This procurement process presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in healthcare services, radiology, and respiratory support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as they can provide innovative solutions in this field. Future providers will be integral in managing and delivering high-quality health interventions, making this an excellent opportunity for firms looking to expand their footprint in the public health sector. ## Notice In February 2019, a National Targeted Lung Health Check Programme was announced covering 10 CCGs across the country. The programme areas were chosen based on high levels of deprivation, smoking levels and cancer mortality. North Kirklees CCG was chosen to be part of the national programme, and has the ambition to offer Lung Health Checks to all eligible patients in the whole CCG population by March 2022. The aim of the programme is to target patients aged 55 to 75 in the population who are smokers or have ever smoked. Patients in this cohort will be invited to a Lung Health Check. Over the course of the project, if the whole eligible population of North Kirklees is able to access a Lung Health Check there will be a maximum of approximately 10000 Low Dose CT scans required over the 3 year duration of the project. As a minimum there will be a requirement for 220 scans for every 4 weeks when the service is running at capacity. The purpose of this contract is to identify a provider for the remaining radiology and respiratory elements of the Project, from the point of this referral to Low Dose CT through image acquisition and LDCT reporting, LHC Review/ MDT meeting and onward referral of patients onto treatment pathways as appropriate. The contract will include the tracking and management of lung nodule patients with an indeterminate baseline scan, who require follow up scans. For patients who have a negative initial baseline scan the contract will also include follow up scans at 24 months from the date of their initial scan. The service provider will be required to work with the commissioners and wider health care system, including local Acute Trusts and Primary Care providers, to ensure seamless and timely onward referral of patients.
